What inspires you when you sit down to make a card? Do you decide the layout first? The color? The stamps?

Have you ever gone to make a card and then made one that was totally different?

It’s kind of like going into a room to look for something and forgetting what you went in there for. (Yeah! THAT’S never happened to you! Right?)
