Simply Simple

Hello Peeps !!!

Happy Monday !!!

Waking up early today, I felt like I had so much things accomplished already. My stamp room is getting out of control, so I decided to start putting things where they belong. I also got a chance to organize papers, DSPs and scraps fro that matter.
Anyway, The card I am showing you today is for Simply Simple week. I did do embossing but not the whole paper so I used chipboard to just emboss the size I want. I did frame my main image using the scallop circle and circle punch. Hope you like it.
