Your attention to detail is what sets your work apart from others. Sometimes it's hard to put ones finger on what makes your piece special, but then you look at the little details and that's the difference- the perfect square corner and straight sides, the lovely ribbon selection and the pearls are the perfect additions! Staci - you are an inspiration!
