Last year, with all my life changes, I didn't get to make Christmas cards, and it was sad :( This year, I want to mail handmade cards to everyone!!! AND, I want them all to be different!
Seems like everytime it gets close to the holidays, I find myself buying Christmas stamps.....I have bought SO MANY over the years....and do you know how many are still UN-INKED! Anyone else have this sickness like I do? You see a stampset, think....'oh! that will be perfect for my christmas cards!' and buy it. and it sits....
yep.
So I have vowed this year to do my BEST.....to put ink on all those poor sad un-inked Christmas stamps!
Ready?
Because here is the first card. It is for the current MUSE challenge I saw today and knew the PERFECT UNUSED stamp for it! I got this stamp (the text on the bottom of the card) from Close to my Heart YEARS ago when I was a consultant. Never used until now!
Here is the MUSE card by Laurie Willison
So....if you are like me and have a million un-inked Christmas stamps.....use them! and blog about it! how fun eh?! let me know if you are up for the challenge ;) I've got a bunch more cards to blog tonight, so hold on! more to come!
