Welcome to another TGIF Challenge!  Today, we have a color challenge including the following three 2016-2018 In-Colors: I was so excited to see these colors!  They are perfect for spring and very “girly.”  That totally worked for me, because one of my goals last weekend was to make an extra special birthday card for my daughter, who’s turning 20 this month!!!  Oh my gosh, I can’t even believe I typed… Read More »

Galaxy Birthday

I created this card as part of the Global Design Project… Read More »

I can’t take ANY credit for this, because I totally CASEd it from Kim Jolley’s website.  She’s the one who came up with the… Read More »
