My last post until mid-March.
An accordion card for my X-SIL, the mother of my niece, and dear friend from my youth. Becoming a "Senior Citizen" has brought her some mental challenges so I thought I would poke a little fun and cheer her up. The details inside the card recalls happy moments from our youthful past.
I made the little flower, punched the frame - on the inside, I used pre-cut dies and bits of ribbon, rescued from the land fill as they were leftovers from past projects.
Thanks to my scrappy friend, Debby Westbrook, for giving me inspiration for the accordion card...... and thanks to all who leave a comment for me. Much appreciated.
