Happy Tuesday friends! This morning we are sharing some lovely cards from our friends at Chameleon Pens.  We have loved these products since the moment we saw them and featured them as a Top 10 item in our last winter issue (view the issue here!)  We then had a chance to see students experience them for the first time at our Crop & Create Moncton event this past March and they were as hooked as we were! If you have not seen them in action, you need to watch THIS video! One pen blends! And it's as easy as it looks to get all that beautiful colour dimension.

Adore You
