Circle Celebration, In Bloom Bundle and Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper featured on Facebook Live February 14th, 2021

We have survived Snovid 2021!  We were very blessed that we maintained power and water during the coldest days.  We did lose our internet for a couple of days but that was a minor inconvenience compared to what some people are STILL going through!  Thank you to all my friends and family who checked in to see how we were doing, we are grateful for you!

These cards were featured on my Facebook Live on February 14, 2021 and feature the Circle Celebrations stamp set on page 38 of the January – June Mini Catalog and the In Bloom Bundle on page 45 of the January – June Mini Catalog as well as the Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper on page 3 of the Sale-A-Bration brochure which is FREE with a $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration (January 5 – February 28, 2021)
