Finally….Spring has arrived! I know this because my allergies are in full force. I haven’t posted in a while, there’s been a lot going on. Since switching gears and becoming an active Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, I’ve been having tons of fun. I held 3 workshops at home, one of which was a kid’s crafting class. I decided it was appropriate to focus on the 2015 Occasions Spring Catalogue for the workshop I held on Friday. Here’s a look at the cards we made:
I am so happy the butterfly thinlit dies are back! They were such a hot ticket item, Stampin’ Up! couldn’t even keep up with the demand.
