Control Freaks Blog Tour Oct 2018: Pleasant Pheasants

Welcome to the Control Freaks October 2018. We are thrilled to have you join us on the 20th of each month. Our tour features some of your favorite Control Freaks Stampers sharing projects made with Stampin' Up! products. In fact, you may have just come from my friend, LeeAnn Greff's blog.

Our theme for this month is: Happy Fall

I selected the Holidau Catalog stamp set - Pleasant Pheasants
