Howdy, crafty peeps! I had a bit of time on my hands tonight (I know, shocking!) and I decided to play with the current StampNation challenge. It’s a two-weeker and also a very cool sketch - check it out!

I combined it with Monday Mood Board #24, which I adore. I couldn’t wait to play and put my head, buzzing with ideas, to rest. Too bad that I’m still waiting for this year’s WPlus9 Christmas release stuff to arrive… I ordered a few of those scrumptious sets and dies from Simon Says and a bigger bummer still that the most coveted set, the wreath, is out of stock in both SSS and WPlus9 store. Ouch!

Here’s what I cooked up… stamped the mixed border in red, white embossed the sentiment, cut the snowflake from glitter CS and wrapped some twine over the die cut ‘joy’ word - a great look for this cozy, homey feel
