So it's been two years...

Wow, I can't believe it's been over 2 years since I've posted on here. I hate that I go through such long breaks between crafting. Before last week, the last thing I had made was the wedding card for two of my friends that got married in November 2012! I am so glad to be back to doing what I enjoy and I hope to be able to blog more projects over the next few days as I've actually made a decent amount of stuff lately. I've discovered that I really enjoy making no-sew blankets and a bunch of people will be receiving them as Christmas gifts this year. I reopened my Etsy shop and have a couple of items listed on there for sale and will be adding more to it over the next several weeks. Anyway, let's get on to why I'm actually posting today. My dear friend Wendy's birthday is today and I wanted to make her a card to celebrate the day, I entered my card in the JUGS challenge and am excited to be entering challenges again.

Thanks for stopping by!

Poppy Seed Challenge

I participated in Lisa Johnson's first ever Poppy Seed Challenge and am pretty satisfied with how it turned out. We had to use a flower stamp, light yellow, and crystals or rhinestones.
