The Card Concept #16

The Card Concept Challenge this week is to create a Wedding card.  For me, one of the best parts of a wedding is the confetti part – friends and family coming together in one moment to shower the newly married couple with love and congratulations.  I used this as my inspiration to create my card.… Read More The Card Concept #16

CAS.ology Pet

Another quick card just in time to enter the CASology challenge for this week with the cue word ‘Pet’. Now, I have to be honest, this was supposed to be a one layer card, but it turns out that I cannot draw to save my life. I wanted to draw a door. A door –… Read More CAS.ology Pet
