Hello Ladies. I love love love this stamp set! I used my Deco Labels and cut out the middle from the front of the card. Then I made a frame out of Marina Mist card stock, then I sponged around a Deco Label cutout with Marina Mist and Crumbcake ink. I embossed with the Woodgrain embossing folder (which is becoming my fav!). I added some polka dot ribbon to the front and stamped the greeting on the inside. Have a great day and happy stamping!!

Hi Ladies! I've been so busy (and sick), that I haven't posted in a while. School is off to a good start. I like my new school and my new class. I'm teaching a new grade level this year, so learning a new curriculum is VERY time consuming. Well, I got some new goodies yesterday and I sat down today to make this cute little card.
