Exciting news from Nathalie Kalbach – She is doing her Creative JumpStart Summit!! Woohoo!!! We are one of the give-away participants. Check it out (you’ll need to sign up for her newsletter in order to have a chance to win, PLUS the newsletter has the password for the videos.)  Lots o’ fun!!

Astrid from the Netherlands wanted to incorporate one of her handmade tags and a stencil into a giveaway (plus washi tape, a stamp and some acrylic paint). So if you’d like to win a 6×6 of your choice, go to Astrid’s blog, become a follower AND leave her a message there.  It’s kind of like the American Powerball lottery…only without the millions of dollars.
