I just met one of your design team member - Wendy Morris over this past weekend at Gigi's Scrapbook Retreat at Orange Beach, AL. I took her class the "Mini Travel Album" This is the first time I have ever seen you paper line. Where I live they do not have this paper line.
I love your paper line that I saw this past weekend. I would love to be able to buy some more of it. Great Line of Paper and emblishments.
I would love to get this book and all the emblishments. Great Job!!!!!!!!!!!
