    With Christmas and New Year's passing I am already looking forward to Valentine's Day and all the fun images and stamps that I get to use filled with lots of love! I don't know what it is but the Valentine's Day papers, embellishments, images, all of it is just so much darn fun so I just HAD to use this cute little girl image from the current Bugaboo Stamps January Digi Club. I just think this little one is darling, and she looks even cuter in purples! I don't know if you have heard of the January Digi Club that Bugaboo Stamps offers, but each month for $20.00 you can get a set of 20 images, and I am telling you the months go past and I swear the 20 images inside get better and better!
