Happy What’s On Your Workspace Wednesday, dear friends! This week, while digging through my old supplies, I came across some supplies from one of my favorite designers – Anna Griffin – and ended up making this pretty spring-themed floral card, featuring a paper-woven background. It’s a nice technique to remember when you’re looking for something unique to incorporate into your pretty handmade creations!
These days, Magellan is my constant crafting companion. He loves to sit in the window and watch the birds. He also loves to chatter with them as he dreams of catching them. To see some fabulous cat photos – and to learn more about “cat chatter” – be sure to visit Magellan at this week’s Wordless Wednesday party!
Have a wonderful week, and if you’ve created something fabulous you’d like to share – why not share it with our Inspire Me Monday community?

Oh your Anna Griffin supplies are so pretty. Love the weaving background. And you Magellan is beautiful..their expressions are heart warming ! I should video my 2 somedays. They keep each other busy and out of trouble. Enjoy the week.
Beautiful card and every time I hear my cat chatter on like that I laugh. Like he’s really going to get a bird when he’s an indoor cat lol
