Last Call For CTMH Winter Catalog

Good morning crafty friends,

This is it!!! Today is the last day you can order from the Fall/Winter Close To My Heart Catalog Book! Yikes! That means some great stamps and “stuff” will be gone! You certainly don’t want to miss out!

In honor of saying a fond farewell to some of their products I created a couple of projects for you.
