Thanks for your comment. Don't forget to share!

I'm so thankful that artisans can line out these directions to create these cards and we can use them as springboards with what we have in our own stashes!!! I also love that we can combine crafts that we love and they work out. This Keys and Clocks Homemade Birthday card is a great example of this with combining steam punk and mixed media and greeting cards. Thank you soooooo much for inspiring us!!!
