As for the third card (see the next blog post), I gave it the lovely recipient tonight. This one is for Erica (hi lovely, if you are reading this :-) you should have received it by now!) See that flower embellishment? That is SU!'s newest product offering, the Simply Pressed Clay (#130685) used in the Buttons & Blossoms Simply Pressed Clay Molds (#131272) - both products on p167 of the Annual Catalogue just released this month. The clay is so lovely to work with and oh, these are quite possibly the products I am most excited about from this new catalogue. And believe me, there are many products that I am excited about, lol. This one is another variation, and it's for Pippa. I know s...
