A Cats & Bats Workshop

I have to say Close to My Heart has done an absolutely amazing job with all the products in this latest Idea Book. When I started to create the workshop for Cats & Bats I wanted it to be for more than just Halloween, so the are some Halloween pages and a few more generic pages. I love the colour palette of the Cats & Bats product line!! Let's take a look....

File Flash Frenzy

It is that time of year again… File Flash Frenzy but this time it is a bit better. In the past the Flash sale has only been a couple of weeks but this year I decided to run the File Flash Frenzy for the whole month of August just to make it a bit easier. So, what is the deal you might be wondering? If you buy 3 workshop guides you get 1 free!! This is a great time to check your stash to see what paper packs you still need to use up or simply need some inspiration to help you use it up. There are so many different workshops to pick from!! I have tried to create with almost every paper pack and a few bonus ones since I started to design workshops.

The File Flash Frenzy will last for the full month of August from the 1^st to the 31^st 2017 but not before or after.
In order to get the deal you will need to send me a message by email, crbb@mts.net or PM me through FB with the list of files you would like (remember Buy 3 get 1 Free). I will then create an invoice through PayPal that reflects the savings, once the invoice has been paid, I will email the workshop guide and then the fun begins!

I have designed over 30 workshop guides.

There is quite an extensive list so here we go…. I will add a link beside the name so you can see the original post.
