Merry Christmoose - Holiday Sneak Peek


When I saw the new stamp set called Jolly Friends, with the adorable moose head, I had hoped there would be a greeting in there that said Merry Christmoose. Alas, there wasn't, so I had to make my own. Labeler Alphabet to the rescue! (I love that set!)

This is a card I made to share with my stamping team at our monthly meeting last night. I challenged everyone to make one project to share, and bonus points were awarded if they used preorder stuff from the Holiday Catalog. If you'd like to learn more about joining my team, just ask!

Dont forget to check back tomorrow evening when the Control Freaks Tour de Freaks begins! We'll be focusing on Holiday Catalog schtuff!
