It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended! Did you know that most of our ribbons, cords, and twine are made of fabric or natural fibers?

A Popper Front and Center
It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended! Recently I created a bunch of baby cards using the Cracker & Treat Box Dies to create a front for an accent.
