Great card! I like the layout, and stamp choices, too...I did a silly thing last night and watched the video after I had commented on the card, and wanted to go back and comment on the video, but didn't want it to look like I was trying to get another chance at the candy. :-b SOOO...I LOVED the video!!

Hi Kristina!
I forgot to mention in yesterday's post... STAZON does NOT smell like almond extract! Yikes it burns my nostrils... it could be that I can't stand almond extract. But I have a really sensitive nose anyways lol. Sometimes I try to hold my breath hahhaha.

Hey, if you have time, check out my blog for the wristlet's my local MOMS club is selling for october and breast cancer awareness. They are awesome and and handmade. We are raising money to pay for mammograms for ladies who can't afford it. If you would like to mention it on your blog that would be FAB (you have a MUCH bigger audience than moi) but if not, that's fine too. I'm just trying to get the word out.

Thanks!
