Hello everyone! Leanne here with you. In an effort to be better about using my abundant stash of sequin mixes, I have made an infinity shaker card to share today. This Halloween themed shaker features images from an older stamp set called Ghostly Greetings.

Hi there! Leanne here and I have a fun birthday card to share. It’s no secret that I love nothing more than building scenes with cute critters.

I used the left over inked background and...
