The Festive Friday Challenge #FF0068 was a toughie for me! I guess that's why they call it a challenge. I had to dig deep and pull out some retired Stampin' Up!® products to make my card. Over the past few months I have done some purging and organizing but these 2 items have remained in…

Don't they just make you smile? The pineapples were stamped using Bumblebee and Granny Apple Green ink. I cut…
