Hi there blogging friends! I am so excited that the UPS man delivered some VERY happy mail the other day which contained a few new Spellbinders die templates! YAHOOOO!!! I'm lovin' the new
Picot Edge Circles dies! It contains FOUR beautiful dies! This crafty girl can NEVER have too many doilies! I put them to great use and made this Sympathy card for my sweet friend Stephanie who recently lost several loved ones. Please keep her and her family in your thoughts and prayers.

Waltzingmouse Fancy Phrases. Check out all the beautiful detail in the doily:
