Quiet Meadow – Thinking of You
Not quite done with these beautiful Floral images in the Meadow Dies set. They just beg for a watercolor treatment.

Very Versailles – Thinking of You
Visiting with an old friend that hasn’t seen a lot of love lately. When a new catalog comes out, we tend to create with all things new and several of the staples in our stash get a little neglected.
