Hello everyone, I hope you are having a great week! I have two new things for you today! First, I want to tell you about a charity collab called "One Love". Forty-eight designers, including myself, contributed. The kit includes an amazing:
114 papers, 356 elements, 3 alphabets, 6 page templates and 1 hybrid template. All proceeds will be donated to help the people of Haiti. The kit is only available for a limited amount of time, so be sure to show your support and get an amazing kit as well!
