We are excited to welcome Barb Finnical as our Guest Designer!  Barb blogs at Snail Mail Studio.  Barb's talents have no end as seen by this beautiful card she made for us.  The delicious fall colors, the embossing and those leaves!  While staying true to the sketch, Barb made those leaves pop with the colors and leaf design!  Thank you Barb for sharing your creativity with us!  Be sure to pop over to Snail Mail Studio and leave a comment!

Enjoy the inspiration of the design team!
