When I think of Spring I think of the many occasions in which I will be celebrating: birthdays, Easter, graduations, weddings etc. I always feel good when that special day arrives and I am prepared with a handcrafted greeting card and a gift.
What about you, are there special occasions you’d like to be ready for? Here is a quick card you can make.
