I confess, I goofed on this card. I was TRYING to re-create this card I did last July, but I misread the measurements and my Designer Series Paper was too short. LOL Oh boy then I goofed again when I chopped off the little strip because then the pattern was distrupted, sooo a few more bits of paper and I was able to puzzle this one together. That’s what happens when I craft in the wee hours of the morning! LOLLOL. The Flowers of Friendship Bundle becomes available on May 4th in the new Annual Catalog (let me know if you’d like one!). The fonts and thank you images fitting for all occasions, coupled with the super simple, yet very pretty flowers, makes this set very versatile.
