HELLO HARVEST

July 20, 2022

I love the fall colors as well as the fall weather. I am just not a summer girl, never have been. I wilt in the heat. Next month I will be going to New Orleans for Back Stage and I am not excited about the heat and humidity.  The best part is that the convention events are in the same hotel that I am staying in!! Yeah!! I am very excited about it but being a California girl the humidity is less and the heat is great but dry.


This card was created for a shoebox swap that was hosted by my upline last week but it was such a fun card to make I wanted to show you how I did it.  It is a simple Z fold card

A simple Happy Birthday sentiment finishes the design, making this card perfect for celebrating someone special.
