Good Morning Crafters   A real quick and easy tutorial this morning by our Pandy.   She has used the Robin Template from our Craftexcess website.   Materials used Personal Impressions Chirpy Robin template one sheet of 12” x 12” scrapbook paper odd scraps of left overs     Step 1 I love a good template - you can do so much with it.
