I decided to invest in Deadline funnels about a month ago and I love them 🙂
Canva is my favourite image creation tool, I can’t believe I get access to all of that software for free! AND they save everything in their cloud thing so I don’t have to save a million images on my computer! They’re the best.
Hi Claire
I Love Canva too, it’s so good and easy to use.
