Hello friends,
Welcome, and thanks for visiting me today. I hope you had a good week! Today my card is back to the “Amelia style” again – designer paper, paper roses. pearls and an adorable Penny Black hedgie. I had much fun creating the clean and simple cards the past two weeks and I will for sure try to do more of them – but shabby/vintage style will always be my first choice!
