Sending Love Bundle from Stampin’ Up!

I'm sitting in my living room with my feet up looking at the new Sending Love Bundle from Stampin' Up! and I can't wait to dig in!

I knew the minute I saw this in the catalog it was going to be the first, and perhaps only, bundle I bought out of the Occasions catalog.

If you need a new catalog and don't already have a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, email me at Celia[at]CeliasPaperGarden.com and give me your phone number. I'll call and get your mailing information!
