Did you know this bundle is part of our July – December Mini Catalog? This bundle is specially designed with all occasions sentiments that can be used through out the year. I fell in love with this suite after playing with it during the event. As a team we gathered for an After Party and had fun stamping together. They enjoyed it so much I thought I’d share them with you. So over the next few posts I’ll be sharing a total of 4 of the lovely projects that we made.
