Welcome to Create with Stamping Friends Creatively Simple Challenge! Each month Debbie and I will pick a theme for our simple cards. Our September theme is “Feathered Friends”. So many great bird images in Stampin’ Up!’s lineup…this should be fun!
CHRISTMAS FRIENDS
I know…it seems SUPER early to be showing Christmas cards already, doesn’t it? But the way time is flying by, it will soon be time to mail off those cards! This is a cute card using the new set, Christmas Friends, in the mini catalog! Isn’t he cute with his little Santa hat?
