The post Magical Meadow Bundle – Inspiration In Ink appeared first on Simply Said With Karen.

I have had a terrible few weeks which has impacted my ability to craft and post on my blog, facebook, etc.  About 6 weeks ago I sprained my knee which has been very painful and prevented me from getting to by crafting space, and yes, I am having withdrawals.  Plus, while all this was happening, my father passed away.  I am slowly getting better with my knee and coming to terms with my father’s death.

I did this card before, all these things happened, so I am  finally getting it posted.

Stampin’ Up! released new Designer Series Paper in their OnLine Exclusives. This release was planned for the Fall Sale-a-Bration period, however it was decided not to continue with this promotion.  (SAB will return in January 2024)  It is a floral pattern on one side and plain pattern on the other side.

Because it is an Online Exclusive, you will not see it in any catalogue, you must view online.  It will be available until the stock is exhausted.  So it you want this paper and others like it, I suggest that you get it soon.
