Works for me: handmade cards

Some of you already know how much I love handmade cards.  I’ve written about the cards I’ve purchased from Stefanie of Stefanie’s Custom Cards. She has spina bifida and makes cards as a way to make a little extra money for herself. I had her make a set of six Up North themed note cards [...]
