Thank you

Happy New Year everyone!  Welcome to "Simply Frenzied", so glad you stopped by, as I am excited to share my first card in today's post.  One of my New Year's resolutions is to try to use supplies and products I already have on hand.  I have been creating cards for over 20 years, and until recently, I was a Close to My Heart consultant.  My inventory of papers, stamps, inks and assortment of accents is extensive.  Again, the plan is to create cards and papercrafts with items I have on hand.  I hope to list supplies, tools and brand names when possible.  However, the evolution of cardmaking and scrapbooking has changed over the past 20 years, so I may be kickin' it old school with some of my creations.  But, know that my goal is to share my passion for papercrafts, and to inspire you in your own unique creativeness.
