August Is Here And So Is Timber!

Plaid, trees, wood, axes & the outdoors ~TIMBER~ August brings in everything you need to document your time in nature. My older brother loves to fly fish.  He has spent days outdoors catching, sometimes releasing, trout.  All year long he spends time out in the rivers and streams.    These are just a few of his amazing photos he has taken while out having fun. Photo credit: Kurt Pflock Close To My Heart has created the perfect paper and stamp collection to help you preserve your memories in the woods, mountains or water.  I put together the Timber Cardmaking Workshop so now I'm stocked up on more neutral cards that I can send to my friends that aren't into flowers, pastel colors, or bling.  You can purchase your own workshop  here. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Upcoming Events August: Facebook Live card making workshop featuring the Timber Collection.    *I will pre-cut the paper and provide everything except the stamp set, adhesive, inks and My Acrylix® Block
