Hi there! Annie here today with a fun and pretty way to send a country hello. As the days get longer this time of the year, one of my family’s favorite things to do is take a ride in the country after dinner. There’s one particular route we enjoy that travels past tons of open farmland, and on that route is a one-lane bridge that doglegs over a tiny brook surrounded by blue wildflowers. For the longest time, there were […]

What you don’t realize is that many background stamps have wonderful images that can capture our attention and actually be the main focus of the card. One […]

It’s almost like a shaker card without the shake! Here’s how I […]
