Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card has a bit more of an autumnal feel – I picked up the challenge theme of ‘harvest’ from Just Us Girls with Stampin’ Up!’s ‘painted harvest’ set from a few years ago.

I’ve got something a bit different to share with you today – I don’t normally leave my stamped images in black and white but I’ve used the challenge over at Global Design Project where this week’s project is to CASE (copy and selectively edit) the card designed by Emma.
