Here's the card I created with the new Christmas Sampler sentiment set.


Supplies:
Cardstock: (white) Georgia-Pacific, (red) Bazzill, Patterned Paper: My Mind's Eye, Stamps: (Fa and La from Christmas Sampler, Musical note from My Peeps set) Paper Smooches, Ink: (Cranberry) ColorBox, Buttons from stash, Crochet Thread: Coats & Clark, Dies: (Labels Eighteen, Standard Circles LG) Spellbinders Paper Arts
Size: 4.25"x5.5"

This set is just in time to start making those Christmas cards and chock full of perfect sentiments! I use the "Fa" and the "La" from Christmas Sampler and stamped them in a circle then added some musical notes from the My Peeps set to create a musical frame for my holly.

Have fun hopping!
Heidi
