"I
can’t seem to get enough of the Secret Garden papers by Graphic 45! My
husband took this picture of us at a restaurant on Mother’s Day and I
already knew I wanted to create a scrapbook page with this picture using
Secret Garden! The vintage-spring themed papers are so beautiful and
versatile - truly perfect to use for almost any project from scrapbook
pages, cards, tags, altered boxes and canvases! The papers marry nicely
with wedding/anniversary projects, baby projects, and more. It’s has
quickly become one of my new favorites by Graphic 45!" -Arlene

"Last summer I went on a city trip to Vienna with my dad. Most of all we really enjoyed our visit to princess Sissi’s castle. On this photo we are posing in front of a fountain that is part of the huge castle garden. I wanted to create a whimsical and magical lay-out to match the photo and figured that ‘Once upon a springtime’ would be the perfect collection to achieve that." -Romy

I couldn't find any of your beautiful paper there, but i did find one set of rally cute baby themed stamps!!! so, of course i snapped them up--and they weren't even on sale!!!
