More Alternatives Completed!!

 

The current Annual Catalog, retiring May of 2022, introduced a new line of inclusive kits. There have been a variety of options to choose from with different occasions and themes. These kits are now at my store when you type  Kits at the search box. I could not resist many of these kits and now, as the catalog closes this May, I am scrambling to complete them. Why? To make room for new kits, of course! 

Kerchief Card Kit #156995

Reviewing this kit, an alternative plan popped out at me instantly. The cheerful little border print on the front of the pre-cut/pre-scored cards reminded me of a country theme - farm bandanas! Gathering up two stamp sets which are now retired, I began planning alternatives that would be whimsical and fun.
