It's not even 7 am on December 1st and I'm already running behind! So much to do so little time. Today's project is a very quick one using the Timeless Tidings Project Kit. I was going to post this later in the month but to be honest the kit might have sold out by then.

It contains enough supplies for 20 cards (5 each of 4 designs) plus 20 envelopes edged in ... VIEW POST
Tidings of Comfort & Joy

I take the pieces and make new designs, and boy did I have fun with the Timeless Tidings Project Kit from the Stampin' Up! 2018 Holiday ... VIEW POST
Timeless Tidings and beautiful moments
Can you believe it's the end of August already! I swear that time must have speeded up because that's two-thirds of the year gone in a flash. Of course there is a good side to racing into September, and that's the Stampin' Up! 2018 Holiday Catalogue. It goes live for customers on September 5th and for today's sneak peek I bring you Timeless Tidings.
