"Perfect Pair" #4…Lucky Paper and My Stickease
The fourth “Perfect Pair” available during July 16-20 is my second personal favorite of the Pairs available this month…Lucky Paper Pack and Lucky My Stickease. I love the colors in this Pair.

The third “Perfect Pair” available during July 11-15 is the Fanfare Paper Pack and Fanfare Level 2 Assortment. Okay…now this is one flexible “Pair”!

"Perfect Pair" #1…Mischief and Midnight Felt Shapes
The first “Perfect Pair” available for the month of July is the Mischief Paper Pack and Midnight Felt Shapes. Obviously perfect for Halloween, like the creations my upline Sherri Tozzi created here.
