It also is permanent and won’t wipe off with your finger. Later in January, I will have a YouTube tutorial on my channel. Instructions for layering waxes on seals: Warm your seal a bit over the flame of your votive candle or just let…

My name is Jaycee Gaspar and I’m so excited to share three cards and a scrapbook layout featuring the Serenade of Autumn collection.

Although these colors are perfect for autumn themes and…
