Dandy Garden DSP great for Back to Fall
Time to ease into fall here in southern Texas with temperatures occasionally dipping into the ’60s. We are always behind most of the country with experiencing fall temperatures, but finally this week we are getting a “cold” front. That means highs in the ’70s, lows in the ’60s, glorious weather in my opinion. Hopefully, our […]

I thought this greeting deserved a fun-fold card to set it […]

Today I’m sharing more cards I made with the Brilliant Wings dies combined with the Hand-Penned Memories & More cards and envelopes. Lately, I’m using lots of these cards, including […]
