ReplyDeleteHow fast this first year went. Wishing you the happiest Birthday wishes and so happy for you. I love all the things you try and keep learning new techniques. Great job ladies and thank you for all the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI posted the wrong picture on the challenge site and can't get it off. That picture was before I added the sequins! When you go to my blog you will see the addition of the sequins. I'm sorry I didn't realize it until I went back and checked the card.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday CAS Mix Up, I hope the whole inspiring DT is celebrating with a bang! :)
