I have been asked to join forces in a Scrapbook Retreat.  I would love to see you there.  Here are the details:  I will be demonstrating the new Simply Scored Tool and giving a sneak preview on the Sweet Pressed Cookie Stamp.  I think I might even have a special!!!  I will also be doing…

I really went simple with this wedding card.  Sometimes simple is the best. I used one of the new In-Colors Island Indigo and Very Vanilla.  I also used the new Ruffled Ribbon and the 1/8th" Taffeta Ribbon.  I finished off the card with the stamp set Word Play.  It sure is a very versatile stamp…
