Do you have an unsung hero in your life?  Your champion may never have a medal pinned to his or her chest, but you can demonstrate your gratitude with the Everyday Heroes Collection from Heartfelt Creations.  These epic stamps, dies and papers salute the extraordinary "ordinary people" who inspire us as they live their daily lives with honor and integrity. Grays, teals, khakis, creams and browns have been blended with distressed newsprint, vintage maps, globes, sailing ships, timepieces, combat boots, stripes, dots and flourishes to create a rugged, paper collection that is timeless in its appeal.  Six deeply etched cling stamp sets featuring detailed collages, inspiring sentiments and unique circular elements mesh perfectly with the paper collection and matching set of dies.  Let's sing the praises of the unsung heroes in our lives with the Everyday Heroes Collection from Heartfelt Creations!

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.
