#SimpleStamping with Magnolia Lane Memories & More Cards

Have I told you how beautiful the Magnolia Lane Memories & More Cards are?  Wait…yeah…I know I have.  Well…I took one of those beautiful cards today, cut it down to size, and used the back side.   I know, I know…shocking!  But, I love the patterns on the reverse just as much as I like the pretty floral patterns on the front. Luckily, Stampin’ Up! thought of this – they think of everything, don’t they – and they gave us TWO of each card.  Now, some would say it’s in case you make a mistake and need another card.  I prefer to think positively, and see it as an opportunity to create twice as much.  What do you think?  

But don’t just take my word about how pretty the Magnolia Lane Memories & More Cards are.  Let me show you instead. 

And you must think they’re beautiful as well because, well…the Magnolia Lane Memories & More Cards are currently on back order. But they’ll be back in stock around July 7.  So, add them to your wish list and be sure to tell them, Michelle sent you!
