Welcome back to the craft room and today’s Flashback Friday Gift Card/Money Holder post. Sometimes the best gift is simply cash or a gift card. The year I made this project, I wanted to treat my mom to a full year of lunches at the Senior Center. Cash or gift cards deserve pretty packaging, so…
Welcome back to the craft room and today’s Flashback Friday My Card Sketch’s post. Way back in August 2008, I wanted to try my hand at designing a couple of card sketches. After playing around in Photoshop Elements, I came up with two different ideas. To test how they would work in real life, I…

Welcome back to the craft room and today’s Flashback Friday Wedding Card & Faux Layers post. Back in October 2012, a dear family friend invited my mom and me to her son’s wedding. It took some time to come up with the perfect wedding card design, but I ultimately settled on a clean and simple…
Welcome back to the craft room and today’s Timeless White on White Card post.
