Snowflakes are one of nature's most fragile things,
but look at what they can do when they stick together.

Hey there,
Creating cards for my multi-talented card group has always been both a delight and a challenge. It's so enjoyable making something special for them because I know they'll appreciate my efforts, no matter what I come up with. But it's also a little daunting designing something special for friends I know are going to fashion their own masterpieces. This year I have already received Christmas cards from some of my besties and they are nothing less than INCREDIBLE. It seems extra time in the craft room has resulted in some very intricate and elaborate designs.
While this fairly simple card may not win awards for my most fancy and complex, I loved creating this Lori Whitlock shutter card because the fold is new to me and it was so easy and fun to create on my Cricut Maker. I can imagine using this fold for all types of cards and I hope my friends will see the possibilities, also. The sentiment comes from my heart because I'm missing them so much after my recent move. Although I can't meet with the group as I used to (and they haven't met for months because of covid restrictions) we can still use snail mail to communicate our love and exchange ideas. I would be lost without my cardmaking buddies and all the blessings they bring!
Thanks for visiting.
Go forth and create something special for a friend to express your love.
