Scrapbooking with Carol Childs - CM Independent Advisor

07/04/2025

So which gift is your favorite? One of the ways to get to the total is to stock up on things you always need - like refill pages, an album cover, adhesives - the new jumbo repositionable - , new blades, a tool you have your eye on. If you want me to help you figure out your order let me know. I'd be happy to help you brain storm good choices.
The bags are really cute aren't they.
