It’s not too early to start thinking about Mother’s Day. My mom loves the color black so I thought I’d make her a card using Close to my Heart’s new For Always paper packet. I added in a little pop of color with some Lagoon cardstock. To make the card, I cut a piece of…
Sorry I have been MIA this past week. I was having some problems posting on my blog for some reason, but it looks like everything seems to be in working order again. Yay! (Don’t you just love technology? I really need to get my 9 year old to help me out when I have technical…
