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...

Hello Everyone! Today is the day for the new catalog to launch!  Now it won't launch until late this afternoon, and typically the site suffers from a severe slow down on catalog launch days (the last couple launches we have been known to "break the internet"), but the day is finally here!!!!
