I know, I know…Halloween was just the other day and I’m already sharing Christmas crafts?! Apologies, but last year I didn’t get started early enough and some of my friends and family were sent store-bought cards as a result. So, I promise to share a few more autumn projects soon, but lately I’ve been in […]
Gold Ornament Spinner Card

Although I’m no longer a member of their design team, […]
DIY Construction Zone Party (Part 2)
