    Oh my shabby and vintage goodness -- simply stunning!!! I {heart} all the vintage elements you incorporated into your design ... the lace, the torn embossed paper, the ribbon, trinket pins, flowers and image - just perfect! I'm so glad you found us and gave this challenge a try. I hope you can come back on Monday to play again :)

Season's Change

Welcome back, Friends!  Come join me this week for Stamptacular Sunday Challenge #78 - "Season's Change!" This week's challenge is to create a card or project using ONLY colors of Fall!   Oooh, how pretty, huh?! Our SPONSOR this week is  Magnolialicious Our lucky winner's PRIZE:  Here is my DT creation for this week's AWESOME challenge theme.... An inside view of the card, and custom envelope/box.
