I have purchased and been given many a beautiful plant in my lifetime only to have them sadly wither away.

I have created a trio of projects with the new…

Monster Birthday Collection and the Simple Stories Birthday
Hello, creative friends! I am Sarah Millerhouse, and I loved creating these layouts combining the beautiful Spellbinders Monster Birthday Collection and the Simple Stories Birthday Collection!

I then added mixed media to the background in coordinating colors with the cardstock color. I placed the…
