Hydrangea Haven Royalty Challenge #13

Today is Day #13 of the Royalty Team Challenge. I’ve created a card with the Hydrangea Haven Stamp Set Bundle.  This bundle looks like it’s going to be very versatile and fun to play with.

Berry Blessings, Royalty Challenge Day #11

Day#11 of the Royalty Challenge. I’m using the Berry Blessings Bundle from the Sale-a-bration Brochure. It’s a Level 2 product so that means you need to spend at least $100 to get this bundle.
