Pretty in Pink All Month Long
I received this card from Judy Faye Garner in a Card Swap I participate in with the release of each new Close To My Heart Catalog. It seemed like the perfect card to introduce the February CTMH Special: Pretty in Pink.

I felt like this card … Read more Welcome Spring Card

Today’s card is a fun one. It has just the right amount of technique to it as well as simplicity in it’s design. This particular card is one I received from Jamie B. in our holiday card swap.
