Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card uses the same background colours as I did yesterday – I really liked the blend of them together and thought they worked well for beach colours. I’ve worked with three current challenges to produce this card. I took the layout from Freshly Made Sketches, but rotated it as… Read More love you to the beach and back
