The left one is the 5th and Frolic Edition and the right one is the Maggie Holmes Edition. The cards are so pretty. I have a total of 4 Project Life Editions now: Amber Edition,... Continue Reading →
I was nominated for the Liebster Award by Annabelle from The Parisian Ballad. Thank you, Annabelle! This is my first ever award so I'm nervous.

The hardest part is trying to figure out what to draw. Even with a prompt daily, I just don't... Continue Reading →
