In honor of this celebration, CTMH has put together an oh so special kit available throughout September only.

If you purchase this kit, your Basic Stamping Class is FREE and you are invited to stay after class to work on your Create Kindness cards!

I will even be supplying some “extras” to spruce up your cards at this creative time! 

I hope you will join in the fun!

SUNFLOWERS!

I am having so much fun creating with @ctmhofficial "Flower Market" exclusive Cricut Cartridge. This is 1 or 4 pages in a workshop I will be offering. More details coming soon! I still need to add my photo. The photo doesn't show how I used the new shimmer pen on the flower petals and the "Sunshine" title. I love this tool. It really makes your projects pop. And it's so easy to use and affordable too! Thank you to Julie Carriere for sharing her idea!
