Not surprisingly (for me) I chose to do something floral but bright and cheerful for a young woman. It also has a very quick and easy fun fold for which I made a video ….. just to show you how quick and easy it is!!

Continue readingI can hardly believe we are in the last full week of January….. already! Valentine’s Day is just around the corner so it is time to rustle up some cards to share with friends and loved ones.

I have used a mixture of products from the new 2023 Jan – April Mini Catalog and the Annual Catalog.
