Absolutely love those completely universal cartridges that I go to for just about everything and the coordinating stamps make me swoon!

To me, that is part of what being a Proverbs 31 woman is all about! CTMH has fantastic values, creates products I can truly get behind (especially since the Megan Elizabeth line is discontinued) and offers an opportunity for Moms to stay at home, craft, teach, and have fun earning a little extra cash on the sides.
