Created using "Mudd Puddles" - Real Sand!
I believe that you will enjoy making this fun BEACH Mini Album to share your favorite pictures from that amazing Beach vacation this summer!

And you will be using the really fun and colorful CTMH Footloose Papers and coordinating chipboard shapes! PLUS, the kit includes ribbon, adhesive pearls and 2 yards of each of the 4 different Paradise colored Baker's Twine! This kit (at the $33. cost) also includes 1 jar of Mudd Puddles, which may, or may not, be enough for you... I will have extra for sale in class for $5. each! Some croppers have completed the BEACH letters with only one jar... I needed 2, and had about 1/4 of the jar left! With that said, you should need no more than 2!

 FYI - You will have some product leftover!
