bio = Hi, I'm Jolanda Johnstone.  Living in Greenville, South Carolina.  Originally from Toronto, Ontario, Canada.  Retired and happy to have the time to pursue my cardmaking hobby.

 

Along the way, I discovered card challenges and set up my blog site exactly 5 years ago today, to participate and share my creativity.  I love combining challenges.  A layout from here, colors from there, and a theme from yonder. It is exciting to see what develops. 

Thanking Becca for the opportunity to be guest designer this month.

This is her optional theme card project: teen birthday card

Jolanda : Thanks for creating an epic teen card!
