I have 3 cards to share with you on this tour….leave a comment on my page and let me know what you think!

The scene in this card is so peaceful…the name of the stamp set is so appropriate. I love to be able to just sit and enjoy the beauty around me. (that is when and if the cat ever moves)

The prints in our new Kaleidoscope Designer Series Paper make a beautiful quilt!
