And here is my creation featuring our latest and greatest products!!


I've used the incredible Vintage Seed Packet stamps by Raindrop Echo Designs, as well as the Elegant Butterfly Die to create this Ode-To-Vintage creation!!
I tried, I really did, but without something cute and cuddly on there, I just feel weird about this one!! Maybe a slathering of flowers is in order to bridge the gap? Maybe not...
