Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Blog Hop

Favorite Bundle Theme!

Welcome to our Saturday Blog Hop at Create With Stamping Friends.  By now, you should have heard that we have a new Mini Catalog that starts on May 5th. Our team this week, is featuring the bundle we love the most and mine happens to be the Fern & Flora Bundle:

If you look closely at the curly fern on my card, in my neck of the woods those are called fiddleheads. Here in Maine, fiddleheads arrive at the beginning of May and we actually pick them to eat! I love them and I’m starting to panic because I only have 3 bags left in my freezer.

You can see the beautiful details of my new products in these photos:
