Simple His and Hers Birthday Cards
I always seem to be in need of last minute birthday cards, so when I settle on a simple design, I like to make several to have on hand. This time, I thought it’d be fun to make a masculine and feminine version of the same card design with the same supplies – white cardstock, […]

Hand Decorated Wedding Gift Bag
Weddings are the kind of occasion where I really like to personalize a gift…all the way down to the packaging.
