Shhhhh, don't tell....

...I am supposed to be using Unity's KOM for today's post, but I'll tell you a little secret...


I never got my Christmas cards finished and sent last year so I am in a bit of a panic about getting it done this year. So even though the KOM is amazing, the Christmas stamps keep luring me to pick them up in search of the perfect Christmas card design for this year.

Here is this week's attempt...
I used the Christmas Bough stamp and stamped it on it's side so that I could add the "JOY" letters into the sign piece using Frame This Alpha.
Supplies used:
*Unity Stamp Co. Christmas Bough
*Unity Stamp Co. Frame This Alpha
*Webster's Pages paper collection
*watercolor pencils
*Unity Stamp Co. Burnt Umber inkpad
*CTMH cranberry inkpad
*buttons
*white string
*popdots
*scallop deco scissors
