Oh my, social distancing and avoiding events has restricted so many things, including St. Patrick’s Day celebration – but try to have a Happy St. Patty’s day anyway. The Houston Rodeo (big deal here with enormous income generated for rodeo participants, high school kids competing with their animals for college scholarships and performers) closed down […]

Thank you, my friend..more of the Wildflower Wishes
The size of the bold lettering on the greeting tags in the February 2018 Paper Pumpkin kit makes it easy to make them the focal point on a card. However, the Sahara Sand color on the card base, the overlays and the letters left a little something missing. COLOR! Yes, I love color and make […]

So I was excited to see this week’s FMS423 challenge on Wednesday last week. I had lots of ideas for cards that I could create with this template. Then that afternoon […]
Wildflower Wishes for a masculine card?
