I’m on a simple card kick lately, as you can see. When the image you’re working with is so sweet and serene, you don’t want to clutter it up with a bunch of patterned papers and stuff, you know? I love her sweet face. And her outfit is great for coloring practice, which I need plenty of. All those folds …
Full of Magic
Did you know that I love Harry Potter? You probably did, because it’s not really a secret. I just finished re-reading all the books, for oh, probably about the 8th time now.
