Autumn has finally arrived here in Michigan! As my husband always complains about, that means snow is not too far away. Being from Egypt, he isn’t too happy about that, but I actually look forward to it. Of course, I have the choice to stay home, but he cannot. I try not to rub it in too much LOL! As soon as I saw Smitten Mittens in the Holiday Catalog, I knew I had to have it because Michigan is widely known as the “Mitten state.” The stamp set has coordinating framelits to make it fast and easy to use and the bundle is 10% off the individual price!
I will be using this set for my holiday cards this year and can’t hardly wait to start making them! However, this card is for my daughter’s monthly “miss ya” card with a gift card tucked in.
