Lauri's Stampin' Corner

I love getting new stamps! I'll share a little sneak peek with you from the new Holiday Mini catalog available to order from in just a few short weeks! My favorite season of the year is fall, so couldn't wait to get the Gently Falling set. You'll love the leaf images and it's also a 2 step stamping set!

My main image came from the front of the new catalog and the Best of Everything stamp set.
