MM #193 {bells}

For this week's challenge over at Merry Monday Christmas Challenge, miss Linda is looking for Christmas Bells on our projects...

I scoured my rubber/clear stamps, and digi's and I did not own ONE bell image at all. So...a girl just has to do what a girl just has to do and I went and purchased this gorgeous set of Christmas Bells from Wee Stamps - the sentiment is from  CAS-ual Fridays....
