It feels so good to make space for fresh creativity. Over the next two weeks, I\u2019m giving my craft room a little \u201cjoy check\u201d by using the beautiful supplies already in my stash\u2014DSP I\u2019ve loved, ephemera I\u2019ve saved, and pieces that deserve their moment on a card.<\/span><\/p>\n

Two new cards, made entirely from what I already had on hand, and it felt <\/span>so<\/span><\/i> rewarding.<\/span><\/p>\n
