Berry Nice Time

I brought many of the new catalog products with me for this stay with Mom and Dad. Mom loves all things strawberry and the Sweet Strawberry Bundle and coordinating Berry Blessing Bundle from the Sale A Bration brochure. They are great match, as you can see I have made several cards and have ideas that will use the mini paper pumpkin and acetate boxes. Mom's strawberry accessories are a perfect back drop for the cards.

and look at this fun fold layout, cute, cute, cute.

My February 10th online class will feature the Sweet Strawberry Bundle, more details in the newsletter I emailed last week.

Happy Stamping and wear your mask when you are in public.
