I love the Domestic Goddess collection! So cute. The mini album and card are so lovely. I like the pockets on the album. I am currently working on a shaped card with a frame. I have stamped on woman in coffee on a page, put a frame around her, have foliage peaking out behind an Art Part pocket watch spritzed with Copper Glimmer Mist. I have to finish the inside of the card and the inside of the pocket watch). Thanks.
