When I started working on my card for today I had an entirely different card in mind. That card included Dreams Du Jour. But somewhere along the way it came out differently – it has the same color scheme and the same pattern paper but this card does not resemble what I had in mind. Has that every happen to you?

Small embossed images on a busy DSP may add a little more zing than you want! Recipe: Stamp Set: … Read More »
