The Be Inspired Design Team is hosting a creative hop today, and this month’s theme is "Celebration"! I can’t wait to see all the amazing projects the team has put together. Be sure to check them out for plenty of inspiration! Today, I’m sharing a soft and elegant handmade card that perfectly captures the essence of celebration.
