Like other crafters out there, I’m sure, I have a huge pile of scraps that are more than just left over pieces of cardstock when I cut out a shape from a sheet. But I have stamped images I decided not to use for one reason or another, punched images that I played with and…

Check Out These Adorable New Digital Downloads!
So, I don’t always post on my blog when Stampin’ Up! releases new digital content.
