Sleigh bells ring....








There are too many choices for Christmas! So many paper sand stamps to choose from .
I am very happy to have traditional colors return to the Close to My Heart assortment. Christmas begs for glitter and ribbons, but they don't mail well, so I'm trying to find ways to have flat sparkle... that sounds strange.

The first card uses an image from CTMH reitred set 'Victorian Christmas,' and a new metallic marker. Got that great idea from Susan at http://www.simplicitybylateblossom.blogspot.com/ - this is the best-ever blog. She not only makes stunning cards, she gives delightful comments and good directions.

The next card (also a design from Susan) uses a new CTMH sentiment set, 'Everlasting Life.'

Snowman is what's left after tearing apart at least three attempts.

The last card is made from Mistletoe Creative Basics paper set - a fabulous deal of coordinating two-sided papers and yards of matching ribbon. The stamp set used is the Mistletoe Workshop set. The card says NOEL inside.

I took a break for dinner and Jeopardy. I'm headed back up to the stampin' cave :)
