I also want to… Read More R for Ribbon at Alphabet Challenge

Hello crafty friends. I’ve been playing with another new Clarity product today – the Triangle Trees masks. These came out of one of Barbara’s SHAC (Safe, Happy & Creative) sessions when she was drawing them, and they make layering up the trees so easy. First, though, I needed to create a frame on a 6×6… Read More triangle trees
