CRD: Monthly Make - Vintage Scraps

Well this is the last Monthly Make for 2015! 

I just wanted t take a couple of minutes to reflect on what a year it has been, I can not believe the monthly makes have been going 5 whole months (it feels like much longer lol!) back at the start of the year Kym asked if I wanted to run the Monthly Makes for Crafty Roo Designs as she was getting asked a lot about her starting a monthly club. So I did back in August! And from your (very lovely!) feedback you are loving them too! Kym is constantly coming up with new ideas and I am really enjoying getting to create with them. I have already seen a few of 2016 designs and they are great (especially the sayings!!!).
