Chantilly Blog Hop

220220 Chantilly


The Chantilly collection holds a special place in my heart.  It is the one I used first when I joined Close To My Heart 8 ½ years ago.  I loved it then and I am so happy it has returned for a short while as a Bring Back My Pack special offer.  I’ve made much better use of the stamps this time around!  Practice pays off 😊
