Demonstrators from around the world, that love to share our creative side with you on the 2nd Friday of each month. Be sure to visit all the presenters in this month's hop - links can be found at the bottom of this post.

For my BLOG HOP I am sharing a card using our Storybook Gnomes Suite. I fell in love with this the moment I saw it and knew just exactly what I wanted to create for you all. Created a couple Clean and Simple cards,  The Storybook Gnomes  was released in our NEW 2022 Mini Catalogue & like I said before, I fell instantly in Love with it's whimsical charm. Today I'll be showing you a Clean and Simple style to create Stunning Cards.
