Happy Birthday


Hey there! Today, I'm sharing a card that is fairly quick to make. However, it took me forever to come up with how to embellish it. I hate when that happens. I needed a birthday card and for the life of me kept thinking the design was not good enough. Finally, I had enough and just went with it!

Enjoy your day and thanks for visiting.

The two winners from yesterday did not contact me within 24 hours, so...hopefully today's winners will!

The "NEW" winners of the two November/December issues of Paper Crafts Magazine are:
