Hi Everyone!! Just a quick post today, as I am neck deep in projects. I did receive some very exciting news last Friday!! I am in the top 30 for the Graphic 45 2016 design team!!

I've been playing around with some Ranger Adhesive Foil, and I'm liking the results. Thanks for stopping by and wish me luck! -Altina R.
