This looks to be a sweet set.

Golda Peterson,

Love these sneak peeks! I can already tell this is going to be a fantastic kit — The floral background stencil is lovely, and I also really like that bike image. Super fun projects!

Amy Solovay,

Also the one with the dog in the basket is everything. My dog is my everything and I’d take her everywhere I go in a basket on my bike just like this one. Love it so much!!!😍

Rheanna Hoffman,

The second card reminds me of that question “if you can sit down on this bench and have a conversation with anyone past or present who would it be?” For that question this is the most amazing setting that I can picture my conversation with Bob Marley 😉. Or my late brother. We could just sit here and talk for hours. Through the sun set and sun rise continuing our conversation forever. This is pulling at my heart strings quite a bit. I LOVE the use of all white because it’s angelic and it reminds me of purity and heaven. Excellent job!!

Rheanna Hoffman,

All three cards are terrific. But I especially like the ‘just a little note to say’ card.
