While working on the sample for my upcoming Birthday Card Kit and Organizer class, I was trimming pieces from the cheerful Celebrations designer series paper. After one of my cuts, I looked at the leftover scrap and thought it was the coolest accidental trimming I had ever done and I just had to use it…
Here is a quick share for the day; it is my attempt at a masculine birthday card. My brother-in-law had his 30th birthday and I needed to get some card off to him. I didn’t want to use a tree set and many of my stamp sets used cutesy animals or had lots of flowers,…
