Hello my crafty friends! Hope you are having a happy Saturday! Here is gray, rainy and feels like Fall! Love it! For today I have a couple of cards I created for Heartfelt Creations and I couldn't post earlier due to my back problems and also my family and I went camping. Yeap! I have to confess I am not a camping girl, for me camping is going to a cabin and have all the commodities you need, but this time we did the real camping deal, LOL and I really enjoyed it, my back on the other hand didn't like it much, but my husband and daughter were really happy and it was nice to have a couple of days without TV or Internet.
