Celebrate Color and Contour with Gorgeous Grape

If you have ever moved or helped someone move then you know how quickly things accumulate. Recently we had to sell my mother-in-laws home and while she is no longer able to live alone, she is still with us. Praise God for that. I love to rearrange and am constantly re-organizing my crafting area, but that does not necessarily mean I purge. Maybe that is why I can’t always find things. LOL

My card today is a celebration of all the wonderful memories we have shared with Mom over the years. I began with a Gorgeous Grape card base and used the Color and Contour Bundle.
