It’s time for the 05-2020 IRBH! This month’s theme is Sunshine. Sending a personal handmade card is one way to spread a little sunshine, especially in these days of social distancing and Zoom fatigue. And making cards is an excellent way to bring yourself some sunshine while staying at home. After reading my post, be sure to check out all the others on the hop. This is a very talented group of stampers, and you don’t want to miss a thing!
