bio =  I have always enjoyed crafting, but I started paper crafting 20 years ago when my sister asked me to create scrapbook pages for my parents anniversary gift. I fell in love!  I started making cards a few years later, and never looked back.  I love trying new techniques, but my most favorites are dies and embossing.  

This is her A for anniversary theme card project:

Debbie : Thanks for creating a heartfelt anniversary card!
