Holiday Master Board
Set your eyes aglow when you see how easy it is to create an exciting collection of holiday projects with a single Master Board. Our Staff Artist, Mona Gettmann, created a stunning holiday Master Board using 12x12 paper, paint, art stamps, and an assortment of embellishments. From that one Master Board she created a whimsical holiday menagerie of projects.
