I'm pretty bad at layering cards. Throw in more than one die cut or an embossed background and I'm at a loss. Luckily I found Yana Smakula's video on her Perfect Cardmaking Formula. I like her clean elegant style so I think I will be using it quite often! I love that touch of gold… Continue reading Perfect Cardmaking Formula

I made a Book!
