Hey Girlfriend!

For today’s card I used a non-SU stamp (gasp!!!).  I selected this one for my friend Diana’s birthday.  Yes, she does like the flowery ones I’ve sent in the past but when I saw this stamp on Pinterest, I fell in love with it.  Diana, my other friend, Becky, and I have been close friends since high school and I thought this one would be perfect for her.I pulled the… Read More »
