It’s a perfect day to send a card or two. Today I was up for the challenge from Simon Says Stamp. The theme for the challenge is: Take a Photo. I was also a bit inspired by “Memorial Day” and the memories of loved ones. I love the idea of taking a picture and holding […]

Easy Mother’s Day Card
Mother’s Day is right around the corner! I can’t believe how fast these days are flying by. But I was inspired to create a Mother’s Day card by something my grandmother always tells me. She is in a nursing home after having a stroke and heart attack. She is such an inspiration to me because […]
