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?

- The trees were stamped with Lost Lagoon Ink on Basic White cardstock and colored with Light Lost Lagoon and Light Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends.
