Hello Everyone! Once a year I run a crop (with the group Crop Kingston) in support of Relay for Life.  This year, we held it in May as a part of our National Scrapbook Day event.  When I received the Ribbon of Courage stampset at OnStage I knew it would be perfect for this event, and created this card for every participant as a thank you: This stampset was developed by one of our million dollar achievers in honour of her mother who had recently passed away from cancer. I hope you enjoyed this card!  You can shop for all...
