Hello and welcome back!  Today I am here to share a project I created from the Altenew Clean and Simple Boutique Cards.  This class emphasizes cards that are minimal, but with a POP!  Let me apologize for a few of my pictures, I am learning to use a new camera and it is a process! …

Hello and thank you for joining me today.  Sorry, it has been so long since my last post.  I have been working hard in the background.  I submitted over 150 cards to card drives to send to our seniors and healthcare workers.  I have also been working on my classes from Altenew Academy to become…

The final card I will share with you today is one of my favorites that I have made so far.  Although, I keep saying that and then I make a new favorite!  I again used the Build-A-Flower: Begonia, it’s just so gorgeous!  I wanted to achieve two things, I loved the pop of the aqua color…
