Pinecones, leaves, pumpkins and the most adorable cute little foxes makes this layout using the new Bo Bunny “Dreams of Autumn” line perfect for the season. Included in this class is a special technique utilizing the deco foil transfer gel, Minc Machine and a stencil.

Layout Detail. The pictures never do Katie's layouts justice, the depth, detail and creativity is awesome, please stop by the store to see the layouts and Thank you card on display.
