My first try making a Victorian tunnel card. It's a Cinderella theme, which was my favorite fairytale, and now my oldest child loves it too. This will be her birthday party invitation. Now only a dozen more to make!

Something that grew from a single flower while trying new art supplies. I was originally looking to cut it up for paper design, but I decided to print it first and keep the original.

I went with my family on a treasure hunt over the weekend and came back with good ole Charlie Harper, who was just sitting on a shelf. It is amazing how many people can walk by something and not realize how special it is!
