As a Card Maker and Paper Crafter, I celebrate I everything! I love excuses to make things for my friends. One card I especially love to make is a Congratulations Card. It is rarely easy to accomplish anything worth having so when someone manages to grasp on, we should celebrate it. In this case, a friend got engaged! Now…no-one would ever accuse me of being sappy but…I love when people who were "meant to be" find each other. I started stamping 15 years ago. At the time, a company called "Acey Deucy" was pretty popular. They made the most beautiful, original, collage-y type stamps. This is one of them. I hope you like it.
