I don’t think I’ve ever used stencils as extensively as I did during this craft session. 🙂 It really did remind me to pull out my stencils more often. Stencils are great for making gorgeous backgrounds. These backgrounds can also stand centerstage with just simple sentiments to finish them off. Unboxing Tutorial Tips & Tricks […]
I was really looking forward to this box and it was rather hard to find. In fact, the only place I found that has it available as a one-off purchase is HSN.com. Many of the other boxes you can find on sale on a variety online retailers so you can often get it at a […]
