Girls’ Night Out Card

Posting will be sporadic this week while I direct fun for sales meetings at my husband’s office. Apologies in advance for the lack of crafts. I have a half-finished layout for my Ireland scrapbook sitting here just begging to be finished, but I have to be out the door in under an hour. Anyway, this is a simple card I …

Orange

The design of …

Yeah, here’s my color list: BG0000C1N1N5N9YR04YR07R24R27R29G20G21G28B00E31E35B00 Colorless Blender It’s actually not that bad.
