Less is More 248 Card

Wow, it has been over three weeks since my last post.  Sometimes we just get derailed despite our very best of intentions.  It has been a terribly busy season, with some time away, a wonderful visit with my sister Nina and a warm family reunion for Thanksgiving and there is my job at a printing business too, so not much time to craft lately.  But today I’m doing just this and jumping at the chance to try the

The stamp for this flower and for the pocket and sentiment are by Stampin’ Up.

Thanks for visiting!
