Happy Monday! It’ a bleak, wet & dreary day in Virginia Beach – c’mon summer! Being the “Sun Goddess” that I am, I feel like I am withering away in this cold and rainy weather, and soooo looking forward to warm, bright & sunny days…. (Sigh!)...

I wanted to try something a little different, so I inked my Cuttlebug Floral Fantasy embossing folder with VersaMark, and ran it through with glossy paper.
