Fall is Here!
Hi Friends! Here’s another pop-up card I created using new stamps, dies, and papers from Lawnfawn. (Click here for yesterday’s pop-up post!)

Bright Birthday Card
Hi Everyone! Today I’m sharing another homework creation from Tim Holtz’ Creative Chemistry 103. In day 4 we worked with distress crayons, and I have become a believer!
