I watched the video and loved ALL the “creative opportunities “. Beautiful cards
Well, first and most importantly😉, the cards are super terrific! But Connie, you made my day start off with a smile for sure woman! I’m super aware of the after effects of anesthesia and your serendipitous “boo boos” made this particular video all the better. Thanks for sharing your wonderful smile through it all. Glad to hear that “procedure” turned out fine.
