Welcome to this weeks post with Heartfelt Creations.

It is bitterly cold here in VA., but no snow. I would love to see some snow, but not as much as the East Coast is getting. 

I made a card this week with the Birds and Blooms collection. This is a beautiful collection with 

so many amazing stamps, dies and papers.

I hope you will get a chance to play with the collection, and create some amazing projects.

Stop by Heartfelt Creations blog for more inspiration from the rest of the 

Design Team.

You can also take a peak at a card made with the Butterfly Medley Collection, coming in February.
