Shining Star



Hey friends,

Hope you're enjoying the rest of your weekend. It's a rainy fall day out and I'm laying by the fire (with my little dog curled up next to me) writing this post. It couldn't be a more perfect morning.

I want to share a card I made for the latest Color Throwdown Challenge #213. I used my new stamp set from Wplus9 called Iconic Christmas. These stamps ink up so well!

Thank you for stopping by!

This is absolutely stunning. One look and you sold me on this set. I NEED it! Love the pink rather than the traditional red, too. Really cool. So glad I found your blog again! Thanks for the link!

Hey, B! Came by after seeing your comment on my WOYWW post today. I have a space heater. We live in No. CA, so we do get a few nights each winter down to 32, but nothing like your NY winters! I'm afraid your hubs is right about that. Perhaps an addition to your house? Keep me posted ...!
