Hello Brandy
I was at the 2023 Creative Retreat and absolutely had a blast!!!
I just watched your video and it too was fantastic. You Rock Brandy with all your designs and ideas and the love of sharing with us.
Keep on doing what you do Best!
Love, love the video. I have learned so much from you. I have been having fun with embossing folders on my envelopes. I forgot about the fabric, will have to pull some out and play.
OMG! This video is so helpful and I love the idea of decorating an envelope. Thank for sharing and especially thank you for getting my ‘motivation’ going again.
Love the ideas. Hoping to get back into creating. Been a rough few months. Buried my sweet momma a week ago. She’s free of blindness and Alzheimer’s as she’s with Jesus.
Your cards are gorgeous. Live the tulips especially.
Thanks again!!
