I have been putting this off for a long time, but have decided that now is the time for me to enter the blogging world. I have the blog feature on my Stampin' Up! website, but it seems limited compared to what I see on other's blogs. I hope to update this one more often now that I have a bit more time on my hands. I quit working my full time "day job" the end of May.

It was so fun to see some ladies that I hadn't seen in a long time. The catalog is beautiful. Everyone will have their own opinion of it. I liked it, for the most part. I'm still a bit disappointed in the DSP selection. All too "geometric" and contemporary for me. There is, however, enough in the catalog that I like for my bank account to suffer severely! ...
I love fall and I love leaves. Fall colors are so warm and rich. So, when Stampin' Up! came out with the new Wonderfall bundle with the stampset and the matching dies, I couldn't wait to get it and try it out. This is the first project I made with it. MMMM, love the added sparkle from the new Champagne Shimmer paper! Button was from my "stash". Hope you enjoy! Inside: Verse was printed on the computer.
