Tim’s tag for July uses a fun technique involving alcohol ink and canned air. (Check out the link for a video with the details.) His tag was patriotic, but I decided to make a few birthday cards for guys instead. After making…
Yesterday being my 25th anniversary, here’s a pic of a tag I made a few weeks ago using a photo from our wedding. Such kids we were! Times and finances being what they are, we aren’t doing much anything by way of celebration,…
