Sunday Share

For my Sunday Share, here’s what I made my hubby for Valentine’s Day.  I wasn’t able to post it before. I used the Hearts Framelits to cut two scalloped edge hearts in Basic Black cardstock.   On the face of it, it looks like a card.  The largest heart with the straight cut edge was […]

Progress Report on my Carousel
