    All your cards and projects are amazing. My favorite would be Nov. winter shopping scene with The Rabbit Hole stamps. It’s just darling and that background and snow is amazing. Can’t wait to see your alcohol tiles in your shop and learn how to do it too. Thank you for your inspiration and generosity. Happy New Year!
