    Finding some new things to try!

  23. Deborah Crivello says:

    Truly enjoy reading about your favs. I have purchased more than a few of them and I definitely find the quality in your selections. I started paper crafting and card making about 5 years ago. It has been the most rewarding activity for me. I enjoy the challenge of new techniques and designing. And I have received alot of inspiration from your blog. And the videos are clearly done. Perhaps, for me, the appeal is in the variety and ability to change directions easily. Meaning if I am making a card that doesn’t have the ‘oomph’., I know I can move on to another idea when done. All my failures are truly successes if I learn from them. Thanks for sharing your craft with me and God bless.

  24. Laura Greig says:
