Hello friends..........
This is my second post today if you click here you'll be able to see my earlier post with AnnaBelle Stamps 2nd stamp set from the August release.  Don't forget the Blog Hop here for your chance to win a new set.



Wednesday is Heartfelt Creations day where I get to share some projects made with these wonderful stamps and dies.  Just a reminder that next Wednesday Emma Lou and Linda will be introducing a new range  for you to enjoy.
