Prices printed in the Spring/Summer were already lower than the Fall/Winter but thanks to our strong dollar they have dropped them even more. Yippee! Having viewed the new catty I can say - LOVE IT!

First one follows all rules and the second one I dropped the holiday business but kept the very cool layout.Since I haven't invested in chipboard yet I used some cardboard packaging - so the mitts are chipboard - with some micro beads for bling. I looked in my drawers for some fibers that would mimic fur but didn't have anything.http://crazystamper.blogspot.com/2007/10/maries-card-sketch-7.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Ej)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565769421818558658.post-3075107327847975237Thu, 25 Oct 2007 21:33:00 +00002008-12-11T17:22:15.508-08:00I don't know what number this is - I think #26!Details for the challenge are here.Info about card -CS: Certainly Celery, non -SU! paper in Red and White - although the red matches Real Red.
