Lindsay's Stamp Stuff Christmas Cardinal

Christmas is less than 80 days away! Although I have a few Christmas cards made, I am starting to feel the pressure to beef up my stock. I used my Lindsay's Stamp Stuff post this week as a chance to make another Christmas card. It also gave me a chance to use her new digital release Nature's Christmas.








Here is a peak at the entire set.




Lindsay is also helping to sponsor the Caring Hearts Card Drive. They are collecting Thanksgiving and Christmas cards to be sent to elderly residents of nursing homes and care centers. The drive is going on until 11-15-10 and there are several fabulous prizes. Click on the picture below for more information.






I hope that you get a chance to stop by the blogs of the rest of the DT. Remember that Linsay will have a freebie for you on her blog.
