Welcome to the Roxybonds Scrappers Team Blog Hop! We will be featuring artwork from the Pear & Partridge Paper Pack ( X7162B ). If you have come here from Denise's blog, then you are on the right path.

Now hop on over to Stephanie's Blog for your next stop. Here's a list of all our team members participating: Jen Patrick: http://roxybonds-scrappin.bl...
