Christmas Poinsettias
Hi Cardmaking Friends, I was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest… Sadly,I didn’t catch the maker’s name, but it was beautiful. I just had to make something akin to it! I can never resist making at least one card every holiday season that is poinsettia-centric. I love these beautiful open flowers. They are filled with yummy festive colors.

Simply Ravishing
Hi Creative Friends, I am hitting the pause button on the holiday projects just for a moment so I can make a special birthday card for my sister. She loves the vintage-style botanical paintings.

Fluttering By…
Hi Creative Friends, Today I have another Papertrey Ink card design for you. In their last release, there was a myriad of butterflies to choose from.
