My card today is a SUPER special one for my hubby. Our 32nd anniversary is coming up… Read More »

Welcome to another TGIF Challenge Friday! This week our challenge is “What would you do … without a sentiment?” I laughed when I saw this, because I frequently find myself finishing up a card and realizing that I forgot the sentiment! I get so focused on the card that the sentiment becomes an afterthought. So, this was a fairly easy challenge for me. My card features the Apple Blossom Dies… Read More »
