While bee-boppin' around blogland this week (and through the assistance of my highly trained Krafty Girls...heehee) I came across a couple of fantastic kreations made by some of our krafty kustomers. What? Are all the k's too much?? Haha!

First, Krafty Girl Tara came across this amazing easel card made by Claire!! It features one of our newest Cindy and Mindy images called Bench Friends!! I love the vintage-y feel with those gorgeous papers and pretty flowers!
