Cutting Cafe Typewriter

I chose to use Typewriter Shaped Card for my project this week for Cutting Cafe.


I didn't think I was going to get a post up this week. If you are reading this and you believe in prayer, please pray for our family, esp our oldest son, daughter-in-law and unborn baby girl. The pregnancy is a high-risk one and there are some hard things God is taking us through right now.

Thank you for stopping by and be sure to visit the Cutting Cafe Blog later today to see the design team's projects in which you can leave a comment to be entered into a drawing to win 3 FREE sets of your choice from the online store.
