If you get the blues being away from friends and family, this is a sweet card to say how much you miss them.

All from a simple repeating background and a few well-chosen embellishments.

You never know when you'll need to grab a virtual hug from your stash to send out!

StazOn Superbowl: What colors are you wearing?

When asked to make a card that involves the Super Bowl, I was so excited because even though I am not a football fan, I at least knew that Seattle had a chance and they wear my favorite colors...Lime & Navy. I had an idea of where I was going with this card, but after it was finished I am thinking....why didn't I make it into a shaker card?!? So today you get two cards.
