Not only is this kit PERFECT to celebrate and show off your Handmade Crafts but it has so many unique and versatile elements that you can use it for just so much more than Crafty Pages.

First I need to apologize. This post should have gone out this morning but I had some unfortunate events that were out of my control and  I am finally calm and cohesive enough to make this post. But enough about me let us get on to the good stuff!

I cannot wait to announce the winner! Congratulations Yanina – Lucky number 10! Check your inbox for an email from me!

Now are you ready? I have been working on this kit for almost 2 weeks now…I had the colors I had the feel but I just could not figure out how to create the vintage fabric pattern I knew was key to this Kit…so I went old school. Coloring it in and importing to Illustrator. I am beyond pleased to have finally figured out this personal conundrum for me! lol! I know I know way too much info I should just get to the good stuff!
