This way, the hard part is done for you, and you can add your images and embellishments to make some fabulous pieces. These kits are limited, so grab them while you can! You get all three masonite ornaments, 3 decorative card stock paper cuts, plus 3 gold glitter cut outs for the circle frames!

Inspiration By Sylvia Larkin!  

We love this stunning Steampunk Santos created by Sylvia Larkin! 
From Sylvia: "I am Blessed"
This fabulous Steampunk Santos stands for all the Blessings we receive on a daily basis: our connections with others, people we love, Nature, Literature, Music, Faith and the Arts. Her glasses allow her to visualize her many blessings even more.Each of the wooden supports contains a message about blessings.
So beautiful Sylvia!

Inspiration By Rose Mary Maris!

Rose Mary did a wonderful job with her Crown Shrines! Each one is a tribute to an amazing woman and their partners on the backs. We love the concept, and of course, all the bling. So pretty Rose Mary!
