Sending Hugs

Summer is my very favorite time of the year. I absolutely love all the beautiful flowers. This card caught my eye with the beautiful hand-made flowers by Wendy Robinson. Wendy gives us the tips of making these fun summer flowers to use on our cards, scrapbook pages and other crafts. I want to thank Wendy for sharing this darling card with us today.
