Today starts a new challenge at Festive Friday. The Festive Friday Challenge is all about the Inspo List and the festivity that inspired the list. The Inspo List has 10 items on it and to play in the challenge you need to use 3 of the items on your project. For Festive Friday Challenge #FF0081…
No fooling it is Thursday and April 1. It kind of feels like a joke that it is already April. This time of year is both exciting, confusing, and a little bit sad. First the exciting part is that Stampin' Up! will be releasing the new annual catalog in a few weeks and it is…
