Cara Craft Supplies Monthly Projects!!   

 

November 2006 - Jackie M's Projects!

 

On our Crafter's Forum, Jackie Mooney has the title of our Stamping Queen!!  Jackie estimates that she owns over 2,000 stamps

and has been card making and crafting for nearly 10 years.  She inspires us all with her constantly inventive and innovative use

of stamps, papers and other embellishments.  She has an amazing imagination and ability to deliver cards on a dime if you set her

a challenge!!  Give Jackie a stamp or any kind of other embellishment, and in 5 minutes time she'll have a stunning and unique card

put together, scanned and posted up on the forum!!  She's a consummate professional and we are thrilled to have her on board and

part of our team.  Her talent knows no ends and we hope you'll be as inspired by her projects as we are.
