This is such a fun weekly linky party, and I love how you aren't limited to scrapbook pages but anything made with paper. I plan on participating a lot, thanks for hosting the fun! You make beautiful cards and the example you shared today is elegant but looks like it'd be easy enough to make multiple copies all at once.
ReplyDeleteI'm absolutely going to use that mother's day card idea.... VERY lovely!
ReplyDeleteGreetings! :)
You cards are so lovely.
