Masculine Monday

Scrapbookin’ On Sunday

Today I'm sharing with you a layout that I thought I had shared with you last year using the Venetian Romance DSP.

Another Sneak Peak……..

This time it's a card using the stamp set Petal Parade, this is just one of the items that you can choose through this years Sale-a-Bration  - which runs from the 28th January - 31st March.......... The card is one that I have cased from a fellow demonstrator, I thought that I would try it as the colour combination is something that I wouldn't have chosen - Real Red, Coastal Cabana and Crumb Cake, its really scrummy.  I changed the sentiment to suit the recipients and...
