I am so glad I invested in this bundle. There is an abundance of foliage to choose from whether as a stamp, or as a die cut, there are endless possibilities for creating cards, or adorning a Memory & More album, decorating a box and better still, it isn’t gender specific! Today I am combining […]

Have you had a chance to familiarise yourself with the new In Color names? It never ceases to amaze me how they think these up! During the pre-order period, the new In Color inks were not available so I did a work around. The “shading” effect was cut from Very Vanilla card stock. To work […]
