 Hi all,

I am just letting you know I will be away on Holiday in Australia and will be back on May 30th.

Here is the card the Ladies made at a workshop on Monday Evening using the Totally Tools Stamp set I saw a card similar to this but am not sure who made it, thank you for the inspiration.

This is the card I demonstrated using the sweet treats cup

This card was inspired by Anne Wills
