With this Ring - CC Challenge

CropChocolate is having a huge online crop to celebrate both their Merger with OhMyCrafts and National Scrapbook day!! 

Here is my entry for the "With this ring" challenge in which we were required to make a project with an embellishment that makes a shape. 

IE I chose buttons to make a heart.

CC Product used : 6x6 Madison Avenue, walnut stain distress ink, EP brown cardstock base. Non CC : vintage buttons, snug hug (dyed with the distress ink), baker's twine, a spellbinders die, studio G stamps.

THE BIG REVEAL...

...

I'm starting a Monthly Handmade Embellishment KIT CLUB!!! AHHH!!

Unlike most of the other companies you will not need a "membership" I will start with a set number of kits, and once those have sold I will make more as the orders come in - don't worry.. I've got a handy man to help me ;) He even learned to crochet with me!! 

On the first of the month I'll reveal an Inspiration board and the name of the new kit - in the days following I will reveal bits and pieces of the kit -- then it will be up for sale as a whole piece! The price will always be $18 with $3 shipping in the US and $5 shipping in Canada :) International from there will be figured out if it comes up :)

After the last day of the month.. the kits will be RETIRED. 

think of things like handmade flowers (paper, fabric, felt, cardboard, crocheted, resin),wire wrapped pieces, scatters, banners, pinwheels, 3D embellishments, silhouettes (designed and cut by me!), resin pieces.. the list goes on and on! :) 

Each kit each month will be full of glorious pieces to use on your cards, layouts and altered pieces.
