CTMH Life’s a Hoot Workshop kit - my way

 


Video Link: https://youtu.be/Q-1SxI3NC5M

“Life’s a Hoot” is one of the three workshop kits in the current CTMH 2023 Jan-Mar Idea Book. I just love the colors in this set and while I always attempted to work exactly by the workshop kit, well….I often get of track and do my own thing. This video shows you My Version of the workshop kit and beside a couple ink pads and one stamp set I only used the papers and stickers from the workshop set.

Enjoy watching my process behind this set and here are the links to the products I used in the video:
