You always have so many cool ideas! My top fav of these is the non-traditional colors silhouette w/Concord & 9th (in fact your original post is bookmarked beside the Lace Leaf stamp entry on my wishlist so I can CASE those fab colors whenever I manage to get it!)
Dec . 16 . 2017Thanks for the chance to give a new home to your goodies! This is the time of year that we can finally do things outdoors in S FL, so I love going to botanical gardens, enjoying nature, taking pics and getting great color combo ideas for cards!

my favorite thing at the holidays is making beautiful gift packages for my family and friends. This year, though, I’ve just had surgery, so less gift wrapping and the creating and packing was much earlier in the season. I’m looking forward to being back in my craft room soon!!
