I've also attached a photo of the same card with the actual Eiffel Tower in the background…my husband took the original photo about 30 years ago on a class trip to Paris.

My demonstrator friend, Susannah Halweg, gave me the instructions for these cute pins made from soda cans and the Big Shot flower dies.

We don't usually drink soda in my home but I was so excited to make some for my holiday boutique that I rushed over to the grocery store to buy a few cases of assorted flavors just to make the pins!  I'm completely hooked on making these cute pop posy pins!!

Yet another card using the Friends Never Fade stamp set & Greenhouse Gala DSP.
