Focus on the Memories

Hi y’all!  It’s Susan Lee Rose from @susanleeroseblog, here again to share this cute little card featuring the Focus on God stamp set from Maymay Made It.  I love the cute little camera images!  This stamp set is perfect for card making, but also for Bible Journaling, and documenting your travel.  I also used the Slice of Summer 6” x 6” paper pad from Echo Park Paper Company, which is was perfect for this card!
