I am a seeker of that crazy, excited feeling that comes when you've created something that’s unique, beautiful and expresses who you are in some small way. It’s like making a new discovery, when you find a unique combination of color, layout, dimension and texture. I call it a creative spark and it makes me giddy! Through sharing and teaching I hope to help others find this amazing feeling of creative bliss!

    I’m so, SO SAD this bundle is gone for good! I was trying to order mine today, only to find out the stamp set is the only part of it that’s available. I’ll order that tomorrow, if available? I’ll have to find another bundle to make my cards from. I’ll think about what to use. Thank goodness I got extra Foil sheets and DSP from Saleabration! So, I can still play! Thank you for sharing!
