Brenda Liesse -Creative Cards: Sending Hugs-November 2021 Post

Good Morning! It is another beautiful day here in Aztec, NM. We still have to layer clothing here. It's a sweatshirt at the beginning and ending of the day and short sleeves in the afternoon. I love it!

This is a super easy card to make. I got the idea from a Christmas card made by Kristie Marcotte

. I thought it would be a great way to highlight some of the designer series papers from the new Eden's Garden Collection. The stamps are gorgeous and I love the sentiments. To purchase this collection, you can click on the products I used below, the catalog or the shop link above.
