image above card fold style card First card for Wags 'n Whisker DT

first projector sheet cover card Elli
Maybe now you can see why it would be impossible for me to choose!  Besides, I think you want to see techniques and styles and my actual favorite is the one I made for my parents anniversary!  Which was just a nicely done regular card that I find grand because of the sentimental value! 

All of these are items I sell at craft sales and in my Vendor retail stores so there is a HUGE variety of styles, occassions, and genres.   I have a lot more to learn, I have no hesitation sharing!
The photos above are linked to the posts, my home page is available on the daisy link above. I never have enough inventory for my craft sales and vendors so the more I make the better!
 I am a stay home mom of an autistic child, married 24 years to my high school sweetheart, and I live in Michigan.  Thank you Top Tip Tuesday for the opportunity!  I hope you have enjoyed my work!  As I always leave with this:

INSPIRATIONAL THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

Know what is important to you. . .  and share it!
