Miracle is not just for scrapbookers - it makes great cards too!!  Thanks to Rebecca Lehman, another CTMH consultant for creating and sharing the cutting guide for this fabulous set of 14 cards!  I'm going to have to place another order, just to get a kit to do the scrapbooking workshop.  Scroll down for more pictures.

For more information, click here to find out how to purchase your very own Miracle Kit (includes B&T's paper, CS, Dimentional Elements with resist embossing, flip flaps, Mini Medleys in Colonial White and an instruction guide for scrapbooking).  An unbelievable deal for as little as $5.00!!  Woo-Hoo!!
