Rose Wonder

My granddaughter, Rachel, is away at summer camp for two weeks (2nd year) and during that time we cannot speak to here.  Since I’m used to speaking to her almost every day, I feel so sad.  She is ten years old and is very independent. This is what she looks like to me! She will always be my baby girl! I received this card from her (can’t believe she had… Read More »

I used the retired Metallic Washi Tape for the… Read More »

She collects owls so I thought I would make her a card using the Owl Punch.  To give the card a feminine look, I used the gorgoeus retiring Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper. The greeting was made using Word… Read More »

The Swallowtail Stamp has always been a favorite and I am sorry to see it go. I made this card for my daughter, Stephanie, because… Read More »
