Big Birthday Hugs

September 13, 2021

Hello friends! What is your favorite color? Although we agree on many things and have similar tastes and styles, naming a favorite color is not one of them. Michele loves all things Teal but Maureen is fond of the warmth and happiness emitted by Yellow. Either way, we are in 100% agreement that both colors can be used to generate pretty cards.  Today we are sharing a card…

Happy BEERthday

Hello and welcome!  We are so grateful for your visit. Today we are sharing a masculine birthday card.  Masculine cards always seem to be more challenging for us to create, but we knew that the recipient of this card is a beer-lover, so we used that information as the starting point for our design.  We searched through our stash to see if we had anything that we could…
