Stamp and Create Vintage Christmas

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great weekend. Now the following is not going to make a whole lot of sense to my international followers, instead just insert your favourite sports team in the year end matches/ralley. My Virginia Tech Hokies lost to Clemson, but somehow ended up in the Sugar Bowl! WOW! All I can say is that Virginia Tech Fans are the BEST! The fact that the fans travel so well to supports our Hokies has a lot to do with getting selected for one of the top Bowl games!

Now onto the fun stuff. Over at Stamp and Create, this months challenge is Vintage. Going Vintage is very trendy at the moment, so it should be easy for you to jump in and make something creative!

This weeks product spotlight is the ever popular Bow Easy. You can buy 3 at the slae price. They would make a perfect gift for any ribbon loving person!

Heidi

I used the ever adorable Mia with Cracker by Wild Rose Studio. The sentiment is from the Christmas Circles Sentiments also by Wild Rose Studio.  The paper is 25 Days of Christmas by Simple Stories. The ribbon is May Arts Brown/Ivory Check tied with the Bow Easy. I also used 2 garnish resin embellishment corners by Melissa Frances
