It’s gone! It’s all GONE! The True Gentleman Designer Series Paper is SOLD OUT! And what’s more? There’s only two weeks left to shop from the Last Chance/Retiring Products List. There are new discounts out there right now, too. So grab your favorites before they’re all gone, too!
Last weekend, my friend Sarah, put out a call for anyone on our team who had Mother’s Day or Father’s Day cards for foster parents. Well, I happen to have several 3″x 3″ card fronts that I had meant to make into a sampler, and they were just sitting around on my desk waiting to be used. In no time at all, I had several quick and, dare I say, easy cards put together. I can’t wait to see Sarah to give these to her!
If you have any extra Mother’s Day/Father’s Day/Grandparents’ Day cards that you’d like to share with us, please let me know. I’ll be happy to share my mailing address with you. It really does take a village, doesn’t it?
