Okay, Connie’s SGGWW challenge last weekend really sparked a lot of card ideas for me, so I can’t wait to see what she has put together for us this weekend. Meanwhile, I had to make one more card with this template late Sunday night. I used part of a card base from my Cottage Greetings card kit […]

WHOA…did I drop off this earth?
Kind of felt like it, but no, I’m still here! Just had to finish getting all our tax files organized and into one place. And to do that I had to ban myself from all crafting and card making – boo-hoo! Call it my added incentive to get it all done quickly. So what always when […]
