This week has been a rough one. I have been over here in my little studio hanging out pretending that it's 2001.....I have been having issues with internet for the last couple of months and after it dropped so severely during my last couple of Facebook Lives that it cut the coverage all together I decided that I needed to take the time and deal with AT&T.

Petal Promenade and Floral Frames Bundle – an ode to 90's Fashion – and an upcoming Facebook Live!
So - today's project all stems from this picture above. It was a text that we got in our never ending girlfriend group text. We get together most weeks to stamp, eat, and generally work on our stamping business. (I know - we have the best job ever). We have some large shadow box frames that we change seasonally.

I … [Read more...] about Petal Promenade and Floral Frames Bundle – an ode to 90's Fashion – and an upcoming Facebook Live!
