Christmas Cards

Here is the start of my 2016 Christmas Cards.

Enjoy!

I'm back!

Hi Stampers!
I've missed everyone.  As you can see, I've been away from my blog and creating.  I was in an accident the end of August and have been recovering...slowly.  I will try to post as often as possible, but I cannot stay on the computer for long without problems with my elbow and back. Thanks to all your get well wishes.  I greatly appreciate all your prayers.  I have been blessed with all of you.

Since new colors are coming in the Annual Inspirations Book that releases August 1, 2016, it means we'll be saying good-bye to some shades from the Adventure collection.  Those shades are:

Be sure to stock up on reinkers for your stamp pads and cardstock  before they sell out!
