Aloha, all! Once I got my masculine cards out of the way for the group of upcoming birthdays, I was on to making cards for the two women on my list.

Aloha, all! This past weekend I realized that I had a busy week ahead of me AND that there were FOUR birthdays bearing down on me all of which required a handmade card: My sister, a grandson, a nephew and a BFF. Yikes, I’d better get rolling on this one before life takes over! Two… [Read More]
