Not all cards have to take hours to create. You don't even need to spend hours to make a nice, lovely card. Sometimes simple is just as nice. Especially when you are using some beautiful paperike the Most Adored paper from the Sale-A-Bration Catalog.

On Wednesday I mentioned that one of the specials for joining Stampin Up during Sale-A-Bration is the Stampin Glass Mat.

There is space on … [Read more...] about The Stampin Glass Mat
