Bella Carta at Art 'n Soul

Here I go again . . . I thought I had clicked on "publish" and here it still is. We had a fantastic turn-out for the demo of new products from IMAGINE Crafts/Tsukineko this afternoon. I want to personally thank each of you for stopping by. I wish I would have had more time. If you didn't catch the demo, please stay tuned. We are submitting the order very, very soon! In other words, if you think you're going to want something, and I know you will!, we need your order asap please.

More about the demo tomorrow; it's late and we finished our small birthday dinner for 18 a short while ago. I'm done for the day but I'll be back at it tomorrow mid to late afternoon. See you then! In the meantime, please catch what I thought I had posted last night . . .

From the Memory Box blog, another beautiful card featuring one of their new dies and one of their new stencils!
