I have to say, I really enjoyed the design piece I chose for this month’s Inspiration Challenge. I loved the colours, the feel and the lines. So, with that, here is what I ended up with….

Been curious about all that a Simply Sent Card Kit can do? Well, look no further.
I challenged myself to take a kit, in this case Three Thoughts, and make a few cards, sure, but also see what else I could do with it. I only added three items: a pack of Whisper White cardstock, pack [...]
