Island Oasis

by Rebecca

This card focuses on the Island Oasis Designer Series paper from the Summer Mini Catalog. All the vibrant colors and patterns coordinate beautifully!

I love to make birthday cards! It seems like I never have enough on hand. I made this funky birthday card for my niece who just turned 13. The greeting says "Enjoy the Journey."

Happy Birthday Kristina!
