Hello...tomorrow is Friday, looking forward to a quiet crafty weekend. Once again I am a wee bit behind in comments, I had some minor surgery on Monday and am working hard to get to every one's blog. One of my goals this year is to stay caught up on commenting, I love seeing all your wonderful cards and creations.
I have two cards to share today, PTI's Make it Monday is first. I fell in love with Betsy's card when she made it last year and had so much fun doing my best to recreate it. I loved stringing the fabulous sequins, they look so festive.
Betsy's fabulous card!
My second card is for the new challenge at Muse, what a fun inspiration card by Michele. I had fun making this one too. Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by...enjoy the rest of your week.
