Week 148: STORY

How simply you can you tell your story this week?!  This word is going to be a fun one!

The Ton is joining us as a brand new sponsor!

Established in January 2015, The Ton was born out of a combination of one new crafter's passion for card making, creativity and entrepreneurial spirit.  Our designs are inspired by haute couture fashion and modern decor.

Our stamps are also made in the U.S. out of high quality photopolymer to ensure crisp, clean impressions.

Have you checked out their store yet?!  This week's winner will receive a $10 gift certificate to the online store!
