Good Monday Morning to you! The challenge at Late Night Stampers this week is a fall theme. I have seen all kinds of pumpkins made out of punches. The ones I had liked used the wide oval punch which I don’t have.

You were to use …
Happy Wednesday! I played on Sunday and made this card so I would be ahead of the game. I had class last night and time was short yesterday so I worked ahead. I do not have any plans for today so I will play today with a card for tomorrow. I ran across a blog that I loved the artists work and she had a card that I liked the layout of. I decided I…
