Christmas time will always be the most wonderful time of the year for me for a few reasons: I married the love of my life, had my first precious boy, designed a stamp set...(major milestones, right?) What Christmas Wonders do you hold in your life?
Surprise! Practicing Creativity Designs has two releases this month! I want to thank Courtney so much, for she has given me the the most wonderful opportunity to design the second release, Christmas Wonders! This stamp set is an elegant and sophisticated Christmas set, with oodles of fun interchangeable sayings. My card today features a design based off yesterday's sketch. (Be sure to play along for a chance to win a guest design spot for the October release!) I also pleated some fabric tape available at Practicing Creativity Designs.
As always, the fabulous Paulina and Dana have some beautiful creations that they are sharing today! Stop by Courtney's blog for more eye candy and a chance to win Christmas Wonders! I know in my heart that you all will enjoy working with it as much as I have!

Fantastic! The colours are perfect for Christmas. I adore the traditional red and green mixed with kraft. And the sentiment stamp is great too. I'd be so tempted to colour it in with something, but it looks so lovely left as it is :-)
