This projects is a special one… not only is it the first project on our new blog, its the first card I have made in ..YEARS !
Of course it had to be a KennyK.. nothing screams “Wipz is back!” like a Kenny K girl .. right haha
But more importantly this card will be winging it’s way across country to a very special friend who has been such an inspiration and so supportive of my crafting and my family. You know who you are… hopefully reading this AFTER your card arrives haha
With that said, I have some other great friends who have been supportive of us through all of the ups and downs… but ya’all are gonna have to wait haha. I need to work up some crafter muscle again before I can get all those projects out.
So… let’s see…. I know I used to have a format for posting projects, but hell if I can remember what it was… and my blog editor is.. definitely different to how it used to be.. so it may take a while to work out all of the kinks. So let’s start off with… the pictures.
This is a card and envelope set….. Product info and links below.
So let’s start off with… the pictures.
