Today’s project was one we made at my February class. I used the Beautiful You stamp as my focus for this canvas piece of art. Are you wondering how I made this?

I’ve heard that wedding favors is done more in the United States East Coast than in the West Coast. Is that true? Living in the East Coast, I’ve never been to a wedding that didn’t have favors of some kind. Wedding favors have gotten more practical.
