"Stamp Tramp Creations" - 5 new articles
Starting to think about Christmas....I'm back! We got a little cold snap this weekend and I think it got me in the mood to start thinking about my Christmas cards this year. There are too many good options in both the new mini and the catalog this year. It's a tough decision! Since I haven't posted in forever, I thought I'd show a couple of cards I created for my holiday workshops last year.
