I only saw the second half of class. So I cannot review all. The part I saw was good, nice, homy and brought me a bit of x-mas vibes

Not only was it fun to chat with everyone, Shelby showed us 3 stunning cards in metallic watercolor. Each with their own style, as well. Definitely need to check this out.

I loved Shelby's class on this. The last card was hands down my favourite and the rest come in a close second 😉
