SFL-LetsCelebrate-Packaging

Since my original posts where I compared monthly card kit “specs”, I’ve purchased several kits. I haven’t subscribed to any, but I’ve been on the lookout for when these kits go on sale so I can snag a couple… well, I’ve snagged more than just a couple.

CardMaking-BigTicketItems

There are a few “big ticket” items I’ve invested in that I use quite often in my card-making. These won’t necessarily break the bank, but they are $100+, so they aren’t cheap either.
