Good Morning!
I am sooooo excited to be Guest Designing
Challenge # 322 'Inspired By'
Seasonal Colors, Where You Live.
I started card making way back in 2007, when one late night I actually happened upon Gina K making cards on a video. And as they say, the rest is history!
I have come a long way since that night, thankfully....my card making has evolved--into nothing particular so I have always considered myself 'eclectic' in the card making world. I do love layers and seeing just how much one can put on a card base. lol
Even though the Calendar says September and it's
beginning to feel like Fall it is still summery in my gardens and that
is exactly what I have been inspired by!
We can go well into October and sometimes a bit into November
with gardening here. We are only 3/10 of a mile from the Atlantic
and that warm air helps!
