Fun Day in Ankeny!

What a awesome day I had yesterday with these two gals!  We started our day early with a stop at Memory Bound Scrapbook store!  Oh what fun -  

Then we were hosted by the lovely and talented Taylor @ Talyored Expressions for a fun filled card making class.  We were able to shop and interact along the way, it was amazing!

All the girls hard at work making our cards!  

Taylor's New Studio is just a dream!  Thank you so much for having us, we enjoyed every minute!

Our lovely cards that we made - so colorful and fun to make!!
