Christmas Reindeer

This fun reindeer is a single stamp in the catalog.  I'm excited they've started offering a few stamps like this.  You can't see it but the paper the reindeer is on has sparkle.  After stamping the reindeer in Soft Suede on Very Vanilla CS, I spritzed it with Vanilla Smooch Spritz.  It's perfect to add just a touch of sparkle!!  Order your supplies here.

Yes, I've been totally MIA the past two weeks.  That's what happens when the kiddos have a two-week fall break.  We've had a great two weeks...although, I think we're all ready for school to start again on Monday.  Hopefully, I'll be up and posting daily again. :)   My son attended an Alice in Wonderland birthday party yesterday.  I quickly came up with this Mad Hatter card to hold his gift card for the birthday girl.  I love how the craft ink shows up on DARK cardstock!  Order your supplies here.
