Closing 2016-Part 1

Hi crafty friends! It has been too long since my last post, and I am very sorry! We were so busy at the end of November and December that things just got away from me.

Hero Arts Christmas Card

Hi Everyone! Here is my second post for the Caring Hearts Card Drive. (For more information, click HERE for yesterday’s post.)

Fall is Here!

Hi Friends! Here’s another pop-up card I created using new stamps, dies, and papers from Lawnfawn. (Click here for yesterday’s pop-up post!)

Bright Birthday Card

Hi Everyone! I’m cutting it very close on this one, but hopefully I will make the deadline for Tim Holtz’ July 12 Tags of 2016 Remix.
