Idk if anyone here is old enough but does anyone else look at her and remember Penny Robinson from Lost in Space?😊🛸

[@DreamCraftCreate]

Thanks for the compliment! It must be the bangs. 😆

[@vickirivera2240]

@@DreamCraftCreate you just may be right!

[@Liz-mk7cb]

I remember lost in space and do see the resemblance. We have just dated ourselves Vicki. I always say like fine wine I get better with age.

Yes and it is a compliment!

[@caroljeffcote]

I am so new at this and at times it is overwhelming. I'm going to try each of your techniques and see what I can do.

[@DreamCraftCreate]

It can definitely be overwhelming. Just remember you don’t have to do all the things! I have a list about a mile long of things I want to try. 😆 Have fun! ❤️

[@lindakline7314]

I have been making cards for years yet never thought to try any of these techniques. I have all those supplies so will get busy right away. Thank you for giving clear and concise instructions. I dislike the channels that chitchat about everything in their lives before any crafting is mentioned.

[@DreamCraftCreate]

Thanks, Linda! Have fun. 🙂

[@sharonpimento3257]
