It intrigued me to see if I could make the Top Note work the same way as the flurry of samples using Stampin’ Up!’s new thin dies across the pond. They haven’t reached our market yet, but here’s hoping. Through trial and error I finally came up with this. The card base folded in half, and […]

Sneak Peek
Just a quicky post – some ladies are arriving this morning for classes and this is just a sneak peek of what some of them will be doing. I don’t want to spoil the surprise, so this is just a teeny portion of the bigger picture – that’s just in case they log on and […]
