When I saw Lasting Joy in the 2023-2024 Stampin' Up!® Annual Catalog, I knew I had to have it in my first order!  I LOVE the sentiments!!  I love the mixed fonts and I love how I can mix and match the messages to customize my cards.   I was even really attracted to the simple floral images in this stamp set.  Enough so..... that I didn't mind knowing that I was going to have to fussy cut.....

I made this card for a friends upcoming birthday.  I am so in love with making cards for my family and friends.  It brings me pleasure to make and then to give away.
