I’m continuing to show some older products in new ways. I think these amazing sets get passed over quickly if we had them last year. New and shiny is always more attractive, right? Well what about old and shiny? Like this card I made and call Copper Woods… I took…

Happy Wednesday to you! Today I’m taking a rare departure (partially) from Stampin’ Up! to create an autumn mosaic for GDP #261. It’s a color challenge with Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie, and Mint Macaron. I thought it would be fun to paper piece this Gentle Leaf Collage by Poppystamps. Here is…
