I pulled out some old (retired) favorites today for the Festive Friday Challenge. It’s National Golf Day (who knew?!) and we are commemorating it with cards of the game. I went back to the recesses of my paper collection and found Country Club DSP ~ perfect! I also kept my…

Happy Monday! I’ve had this Wildly Flowering birthday card in “Drafts” for some time now and had forgotten about it! I think it’s time to post it! While Moody Mauve has not been my go-to color, I really like the combination of Early Espresso and Basic White with it. It…
