Episode 1: My First Video-Clear Embossing & An Elegant Birthday Card

Hi Everyone!

Can you believe it?! I did a video! Super excited. The birthday card that I made was given to my best friend, Nicole. I love playing around with pink and black and I'm a huge fan of damasks. They are so classy. Don't you think? Anyways, I hope you enjoy the video. It took me about 8 takes. LOL.

Hope you are having a fabulous evening! Leave me a comment and let me know what you think :)
