SCS Queen for the Day - Cathy McCauley


Today's card was inspired by SCS Queen for the Day's Cathy McCauley. I loved her amazing sponged background on her New Beginnings and converted it into the masculine card of encouragement I needed to mail out today. Now this was truly a 5 minute card!! I love when that happens!
