Free To Be Me

I was very excited when my order arrived last week with my first pack of the exclusive "Free to be Me" paper pack! Needless to say, I have had it out already, and using the idea booklet available to those who purchase the kit, I have created 2 double page spreads using this beautiful paper.  The paper collection features exclusive printed cardstock, vellum, and B&T Duos™ and, with a retail value of $16, is a fantastic deal for products you can’t get anywhere else. So make sure to get your Free to Be Me paper collection in April and May for just $5 with any $75.00 purchase and let your creativity take flight!

The colours and texture are beautiful!

The colours of the cardstock and B&T Duos™ are much better than my photos show!

One sheet of the vellum is printed with feathers and the other sheet has gold dots on it!

These pages use the 'Free To Be Me' paper pack along with the Feathers stamp set

You can have this paper pack for just $5.00 during April and May with any purchase of just $75.00, so stock up on your paper crafting supplies and get your pack today! Don't miss out.
