Simple Sunflowers Card

Today I just have a really simple card for you. Again from the April Kit Country Farm Stand at Pixiedust Paperie. I decided to “age” nearly everything I put my hands on just a bit with a little touch of ink.

Who you are layout

Good Morning! I thought that today I would switch gears a bit and share a layout I finished yesterday. I am on a local store's design team and we each had to make a LO showcasing a photo of ourselves and our style. I thought about it and I really don't have a definitive style. Some days I am crisp and clean, others I am distressed and dirty! However, I am usually technique oriented. I... Read more →
