Another Brayered Background

Second Post, scroll down for the first! I used my learning curve from yesterday’s background piece to make my card today (I actually had this idea occur to me about the same time as the one for yesterday’s card).

I do not have any current…

We did 2 different apple festivals but I must say Maryland knows how to do an apple festival. They were quite a bit different from what I am used to. I am traveling home today. It is a 7 hour ride so I will not get home until late.…
