2013 Holiday Mini Goodies

The 2013 Holiday Catalog is live and here's a sample of some of the great stamps and papers you'll find. The tree is from a stamp set called Color Me Christmas. Too cute, it includes 5 stamps of a stocking, mouse, gift, Santa and tree. And the DSP is found in the Seasons of Style DSP and DSP Stack. The greeting is from More Merry Messages that's not in any current catalog, but is still available to order!

Oh and the card came together so quickly thanks to the Splitcoast Sketch#447 here.

Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Color Me Christmas & More Merry Messages
