Welcome to another Stay Crafty with A Blog Named Hero Challenge! This month, we want to go on a sentimental journey and make the sentiment the star! You might chose a large sentiment, add heaps of sentiments, put sentiments in the background as well as in the foreground, whatever you like to make the sentiment the main character of your card.
Here's some inspiration from our design team.
