When I first started using my Lacy Days border punch, we were not quite getting along. I kept ending up with edges that [...]

I thought I’d share a card I made for a challenge group I belong to. The challenge was to make a card with unusual folds.
I used the Cheery Birthday Card Kit to make the card. The kit contains the stamps, pattern paper, colored and white cardstock used (along with a bunch of embellies).

I needed a new baby card for one of the women at my church. I decided to use the super cute Baby Blessings set from Impression Obsession. The set has a little boy outfit and a little girl dress – and the two sentiments. Cute, cute, cute!
