Adding Dimension to your Fall Projects
Hi Spellbinders fans. Alanna Moses from EmbellishCraftLove.com and I am very excited to be guesting on the Spellbinders blog today. Today, I am working with the Falling Leaves collection.

These beautiful script sentiments can be used in lots of different ways, and I love that they are large, so take center stage on the cards!
