Use Your Stash – Thinking of You Card

I'm a hoarder!  Yes – I said it.  I compulsively collect all kinds of awesome Paper Crafting Supplies and then I just love them too much to use them. LOL  Some things are worse than others – like flowers.  I LOVE PAPER FLOWERS!  I do make my own but when I find beauties like these, I find it very hard to part with them.  Today's Card is another for the "Use Your Stash" Challenge so it's a license to use my favorites.  It's also being entered into a few others as well.  I like the jewels and flowers with the canvas.  If you're a visual person – like me – I did a VIDEO Tutorial for you – (see below).  Subscribe to my YouTube Channel to be notified of any other videos. 🙂
