Somehow more paper products arrived at my doorstep. I found out there is a Bella Carta in Australia; they ordered papers from Graphic 45 and that order was delivered to my front porch instead. Hmmmmmm.

From SEI, these 12x12 papers . . .

 

gold embossing on kraft card stock

NEW black chalkboard card stock . . .
you can use your chalks, or you
might want to take out your white inks for a
chalkboard effect!

embossed card stock that didn't last more than 2-3 days
last time it was delivered

hot pink embossing on kraft card stock --
this was in the 6x6 paper pad a while back
but wasn't available in 12x12; we let SEI know
they should have done it in the bigger size due
to customer feedback . . . and voila!
it's saucy!

From Penny Black, these papers and sticker sheets  . . .

gold foil vellum that we've enjoyed before

The other evening, we happened to look at the backyard and discovered we had visitors of the doe kind!

And one last thought . . . something I can totally relate to!
