Crafty Saturday’s are a busy time around here, as I juggle getting me, the dogs, and the studio ready. And I just love crafting live with you because you just never know what’s going to happen! Today’s card, for examples, felt bare until I grabbed my handy-dandy Linen Thread and tied a quadruple bow. Linen Thread is my “go to” embellishment when I need a little something extra. Besides, it just added to the rustic country feel of the Country Lane Suite.
