Herb Expressions

Are you having a good Thursday morning. The sun is shining here and that is always a good thing. Yesterday was an exciting day for me. I spend most of the day making up kits for my Christmas Card Kit. Thank you so much for your orders. It’s a great feeling when you know others recognize your artwork. Now I know everyone is looking for Christmas ideas and cards but I’m taking a little break today and showing you a set called Herb Expressions on pg 55 of the catty. It’s a large set and has some great sentiments. Don’t the senitments just get to you. I found this layout on Dawns Stamping Thoughts and I thought I would try it. This layout reminds me of a match book and on the inside there is a pocket for a gift card. We are always looking for new way to make those plastic cards prettier. LOL
