Magnolia Monday #10 - Summertime, and the Livin' is Easy!

Happy Monday Everyone!
Another week has passed, gosh mine was a busy one, I've been on a room redo of my crafting space and I'm so glad it's finally done.
I'd like to share it with you and so yesterday I did a quick video tour and I'd love you take a look!



For those of you who prefer photos they will be up later and I'll add a link here.
Photos up and you can see them In This Post

After die cutting the flowers I ran them through the Big Shot with an embossing folder and then gave them a spritz for some shine and added the glittery button to the center.
