Time flies!

It's hard to believe that I've taken such a long hiatus from crafting. I must admit, it's not like riding a bike. The creative connections in my brain and hands are not what they used to be!

So much has changed, but it's amazing to see the evolution of the paper crafting industry over the past 7 years. Gorgeous new products, trends, and innovations!

That's it for now - I want to keep this "return" post short :)

This card was made for the MFT Stamps Wednesday Sketch Challenge - Sketch 525.

Stamps: Avery Elle

Dies: MFT Stamps Grande Greenery Solid and Outline, Wonky Stitched Rectangles

Other supplies: Tombow Mono Aqua Liquid Glue
