When I saw the new line of split monogram designs from Snapdragon Snippets in the Online Store, I was immediately inspired to make this personalized welcome mat. I tested a couple of fonts […]

Love Cats
Just stopping in today for a quick card share using some stamp sets from Newton’s Nook and more of my new favorite patterned paper from the “Fresh Cuts” collection by Basic Grey: The sentiment and heart border were embossed in gold using the “Newton’s Antics” and “Sweetheart Tails” sets.
