Braggin’ Rights
The world of papercrafters is large and vast. So many possibilities exist, so many new territories can be explored. Scrapbooking is one of them. Cardmaking is another. Many who scrap cross over to cardmaking. Many who create beautiful, hand-made cards also enjoy designing gorgeous scrapbook pages. I, however, am not one of them. In all… Continue reading Braggin’ Rights

DWTS: And the winner is…
