KENDALL ELIZABETH ADAMS

Our precious granddaughter is one month old.

It's now time to leave Salisbury and move to Jasper so I can pamper Kendall, Kristin and David.

Top Note Card

Images © Stampin’ Up!

This card was created using the Stampin' Up! Top Note die. I folded the cardstock before I used the die to cut the Top Note. I then used a piece of patterned paper that was first run through the die and then trimmed along the perforations.
