That this has been a crazy unpredictable 2020 is an understatement. When I saw this card, created by Denise MacCabe from New South Wales, Australia, I knew I had to recreate it.

Details for this post are a work-in-progress. I wanted to secure the link for my Pinterest image a.s.a.p., hence the posting before all of the details are complete. My friend Paula, from Mi Wuk Village, CA, the community we moved away from last December, asked me to make a special card for her soon-to-be-102 year old aunt. Auntie loves RED and HIGH HEELS. Unfortunately I couldn’t put my…

I made today’s card for a group of friends who love to…
