#rainbow #fun #pride Hi everyone, so this month is pride month, and I thought I'd make a rainbow card in celebration!

Hey everyone! I haven't posted in a while... 6 months in fact... but I have some cool news! A few months back I started a PhD in astrophysics! So all I need to do right now is find my work-life balance or my astrophysics and papercraft balance... I have a few projects lined up to share including cards, layouts and more!  Here's just a sneak peek of some of the stuff to come! The plan is to start posting of a regular basis (once a week) starting NOW... wish me luck! If you have comments or suggestions of what kind of projects I should make, let me know! Shanika :)
