Hi there, again! I hope you enjoyed my tutorial. If you like those types of tutorials please let me know I have a few more and if you all would like them I'd be happy to post them. It is all about YOU who read my blog!
I made this card for a special person in my life, my 91 year old great-grandmother, Nana. We lost our papa, her husband of 74 years. He died the Monday before Thanksgiving. She adores my cards and her face brightens up everytime I give her one. She keeps them on the table next to the chair she sits in all day. I hope I can bring a smile to her face. She's just lost without papa. :( At the funeral I asked her what color Christmas card she wanted she said an Orchid color. She's so elegant! I love her dearly. I need to treasure every moment with her!
Have a great Sunday, everyone!
