It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

It's Tuesday, so it's time to share a project created for Topflight Stamps. However, first it's time to remind you that the Labor Day Sale ends tonight, Tuesday, 9/3/24 at 11:59 P.M. There are loads of wonderful new (and old) products in the store, so I'd pop over there right now!

This week is "Anything Goes" on the TFS blog, so I've made a Halloween themed MemoryDex card with the Summer Splendour Die Set 50 by AALL and Create. the Devil Dee Clear Stamp Set 955 by Janet Klein for AALL and Create with a sentiment from the Miss Merry Clear Stamp Set 608 by Janet Klein for AALL and Create, and Elements Inks by Lavinia Stamps.

Here's my MemoryDex card that will be eventually be part of a Halloween album!
