Hello my quarantined friends! The only beauty I see in being quarantined is that I have more time to create in my ‘She Shed Tornado Shelter’! Today’s creation is using ‘Ornate Style’ a new and soon to be released stamp set that is being featured as part of the ‘Ornate Garden Suite’ in the Stampin’ Up 2020-21 Annual Catalog. I’m sorry I’m showing off something you can’t order until later but I couldn’t resist sharing a sneak peek of what you can expect from the new catalog.

Have you ever been in a dilemma where you couldn’t make up your mind? Well this is the case here, I couldn’t decide which color I liked better, black or crumb cake, as both would look great using the Stampin’ Chalk Marker. So here you go, I made both and thought I’ll just leave the deciding up to you! Lol!
