  • i had some new cards up on the making memories blog yesterday.   i used the new dilly dally collection for all of these cards. it's such a fun, bright spring collection. full of flowers and butterflies.   this sheet of pattern paper, has all sorts of title blocks and journaling spots. i found that it was perfect for…
