Many people have asked me… What is www.MaggieMadeCards.com? Simply said, it is my personal web blog where I showcase cards that are handmade by me.  I am a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and want to share my love of paper crafting with everyone.  I use my imagination to create works of art in my spare time… I look toward the day I retire from my full-time job and craft all day everyday.  While enjoying my hobby, I also have a group of friends, the Circle of Pals that do what I do and get together in person or virtually nation-wide and enjoy making cards and scrapbooking projects.    Click here if you want to learn more about joining our circle and getting your own kit.  Please feel comfortable about leaving me a comment on any one of the cards on the blog.  You may reproduce any one of them, but please give credit as to where you found it.

Handmade Card Ingredients:
Paper:  Whisper White (100730), Pacific Point (111350), Daffodil Delight (119683)
