This is my first submission to a Waffle Flower challenge. The theme is “Christmas in July”, which is perfect because I’m just now starting my Christmas / holiday crafting.

I Joined Another Club Subscription
I’ve been using products designed by Stephanie Barnard since she was a designer for Sizzix and I love her stuff! Mostly, I like that her die sets are for interactive cards.

Well, she now sells her designs under her own company – The Stamps of Life (TSOL) and they have various monthly clubs.… Read the rest

Since starting my subscription, I’ve only skipped one box and that’s next month’s kit (#43). That surprised even me! I fully expected to skip maybe 2-3 boxes a year, but there’s just so much to love in each box, it’s hard to skip any of them.… Read the rest
