Festival of Prints Designer Series Paper Stack

Festival of Prints Designer Series Paper Stack  #126904 $6.95

I love this paper stack of designer paper.  It consists of 48 sheets of 4 1/2" X 6 1/2"  paper, 4 each of 12 designs.  Great size for cards....and I love ALL the designs!!!! Wonderful Holiday designs!!!! 

Today it's kinda gray and cool....and lately, I've been consumed with getting classes and clubs put together...so thought I would take some time off and play a little on a non project.  I fell in love with this card in the Holiday Catalog....so had to "case" it....It came out very nice, if I do say so myself!!!!  I embossed the Raven and Gate....I haven't embossed in eons!!!!  They really "popped" out!!! 

I'm starting to search out recipes that use Zucchini...that time of year....Steven really liked this one!!!
