You're Sweet

I'm sorry for constantly mentioning it, but I really am tickled pink to be able to craft at leisure again!  The last few years, personal crafting became something I had to fit in around work crafting which took away the joy I usually get from it.  I'm having so much fun Christmas crafting this year, here are the cards I've made for Jasmine's classmates...

 Stamps - Sweet Christmas / Dies - Sweet Christmas Die CollectionTag It Die Collection & Tag Along Die Collection / Ink - VersaFine Onyx Black; VersaMagic Gingerbread, Midnight & Red Magic / Other - Black Twine

Thank you very much for looking, I'm so happy to have you stop by :)
