Frosty Gate

Love these Heartfelt Creations stamps and die sets but note to self, must allow more time for embellishments...this card had to go in the envelope before the glue was dry!

The Graduate

Life should be full of celebrations!

I couldn't resist this super cute hedgehog stamp!

The mortar board and scroll were paper pieced, mounted onto foam pads and edged with a Tsukeniko Memento black marker pen - hard to tell in the photos!
