DieCember® Party!

Hi there! Today I’m joining several talented designers in a huge DieCember® party to kick off the new release with Simon Says Stamp! I created a project with the new Woodland Treescape Die Set. I was amazed when I first saw this set. I think it is such a cool and unique new design that really draws the eye into this magical woodland scene.
