I got some new die cuts on Friday from the guy in the big brown truck. I wanted to play with them so I used them on my card. Card Positioning Systems has a weekly sketch they post. It was an interesting sketch so I thought it would be fun to use one of the die cuts on the card. Stampin’ B’s challenge this week was to use a die cut. Since I was using…
Hi Ladies! Sorry for the late post. I spent yesterday cutting my grass and trimming bushes. When I was done I was exhausted and not in any shape to stamp.
