Warm Winter Wishes

I’ve gone and done it…..I started on my Christmas cards. I know, I know, it is super early, but that is the idea. Maybe if I start on them now, I will have them done early and won’t be stressing come December.

I love this cute image created by Crissy Armstrong. Ann Vento of Raindrop Echo Designs created a set of sentiments that coordinate perfectly with the image. Both are available at Whimsy Stamps.

Thank you for stopping by! Have a great week!
