Hey there, everyone! Long time no blog...I know, I know. I have just been crazy busy this past month and a half with weddings, family things and such. It is typically around this time that my blog takes a bit of a break each year...and it was no different this time around!!
However, I was emailed awhile back by Stephanie Howell...asking me to be a guest designer for My Mind's Eye for the month of August. And I absolutely couldn't resist doing that!! MME is one of my very fave companies out there, and I had a great time putting together some cards for them. Here is what I created!!
For supply lists and such, please see the blog posts on the My Mind's Eye blog that are linked below!
