Creative Stamping & Scrapbooking By Kim

THANKS SO MUCH Card...Created from the VERY THANKFUL Stamp Set!

Inspiration for this project from Laurie Zoellmer

Here is another project we created at my recent "Very Thankful" Stamp Camp.

Supplies:

Not only will you be able to share your thanks with others with these delightful images, but you will have the gratitude of the children and families who benefit from the donation of $2 per set that Stampin' Up! contributes from the proceeds of this stamp set.
