Another supply that can use some dusting off are my
distress stains.
Why do I suddenly think about neglected supplies? Well head on over to Carolyne Dube's blog and she'll explain you everything.
So I cut some tags and grabbed my stains and was all set for
some play time.

ReplyDeleteThese look fab, love all the different effects. Great idea to make them into a booklet, I think I might do this myself. Handy for inspiration if you ever get stuck for ideas.
