Happy Friday and Welcome to the Flashback Friday 23.0 Blog Hop!

My name is Jennifer. I am married and have three beautiful children. My son is 13 and my daughters are 9 and 5. I love being a full time mom and I also run a small home based sign business. I love to be creative. I enjoy making cards, scrapbooking, mixed media and photography. My evenings are often spent crafting and my mornings consist of blogs and coffee. (=

I know, right? I gotta have one!!!!

The winner of Flashback Friday is Janice of

Twin2u2 Designs

I spend my time in a beautiful suburb of the windy city of Chicago. My partner Mike and I have been married for 14 years. I am the mother of adult twins and I work full-time as a Financial Admin for a large scientific laboratory.

My crafty life started, when as a 9 year old, a neighbor taught me to crochet, which I still do today and I have tried everything from needle-point to picture framing. Six years ago I was introduced to the wonderful world of card making by a co-worker and I was hooked! I don't have a particular style as I love a variety of looks. If I had to choose a favorite technique it would be distressing and embossing and I love lots of color (although I don't color very well ... lol). It is most amazing to have so much inspiration and support thru this thing called blogging and I am most grateful to Amy for the opportunity to host Flashback Friday 23.0!

The Flashback Friday 23.0 challenge that Janice picked is:

First card with a butterfly or butterflies...
