So there are many ways to create a card, but when it is something special a whole lot of time and effort go into making that perfect card that you hope will become a keepsake.
The Keal-side of my family are celebrating 40 years of married life together this coming weekend! What a wonderful occassion to celebrate and we are lucky to be spending it together!
Now, I am sure you can imagine how this went..."Linda, you are in charge of the card." I am sure many of you cardmakers are given the same types of orders...oops I mean requests by your family and friends. LOL!
This card took me almost 4 hours - contemplating what would be perfect for this creation. So don't feel bad if it takes you a bit of time to create that perfect creation when it is for a special event. Easy cards are fun to create...but it is also fun to put the love and time into your card when it is for someone special.
