Julie's Creative Stamping: Forever & Always by Stampin Up® "Love You"

Welcome to my blog! I think I am going through a Purple madness stage as I have been doing several purple cards as of late! I have several of my friends that love purple and always get excited when I do a card class and the cards are purple!

For this card I used the Forever & Always Stamp set, Always Dies, Love You Always Designer Series Paper, True Love Designer Series Paper and the Matte Black Dots which are all part of the unbelievable Love you Always Suite by Stampin Up®.
