Two Holidays, One Card!
This is a great year for the Christmas/Hanukkah card! I had these printed up a couple of years ago and they have been listed in The Nancydraws Shop, but this year Hanukkah and Christmas fall so closely together I am hoping this card gets the attention it deserves. On one side, Adele is trying to…

Foodietoos
I came up with Foodietoos after thinking about how my friends and family really love good food and how that feeling is similar, in a way, to the passion people have about choosing permanent tattoos.

Custom Bonanza!
As promised, I am revealing last Sunday’s source of awesome inspiration…. a wedding card for my friends Holly and Craig, who got married in Las Vegas early in March! Holly had worn a headband with devil horns and a veil for her bachelorette party. That headband sparked the idea… I feel that Holly and Craig…
