Heartfelt Wednesdays...

As 2011 comes to a close, Heartfelt Creations is retiring several stamp sets that have become very popular throughout the years.  IN 2012, these sets will no longer be available.  Head over to the HC website, check out all the Limited Edition Sets, and pick up a few before they are GONE forever.

These next few weeks, I will be sharing some cards and projects made with these Limited Edition Sets.  I'm sure you'll see these stamps used in the future too as I can envision many Summertime projects to come!!!

 Thanks!
