Hi everyone! I’m Stephanie Dang, and I am the guest designer for this beautiful collection called, Woodland Tales by Spellbinders. If you would like to see more of my work or follow me, please find me on Instagram and blog. The inspiration for my projects is inspired by the warmth of Autumn and the beauty of nature. You will find all supplies to recreate both layouts at the bottom of my blog post.
