Remember the days of paper dolls? Waiting for the McCall's magazine to come to see what the Betsy would have to wear this month and excited to cut them out. Well paper piecing brings back a little bit of the pleasure and joy once felt back then. I don't know if it the memories or the actual cutting that is relaxing to me.
If you are dreaming of a White Christmas then you will for sure want to add this fun stamp set to your wish list or maybe your "have to have list!" While it has Christmas in the name it doesn't have to be just for Christmas as shown in today's sample.
We all have friends and family with winter Birthdays. I believe more than birthday wishes are sent with a hand stamped card. People know you care enough to take the time to create something special just for them.
In this busy world of technology and being connected more on-line than in person, take some time for yourself to do something you enjoy. I am guessing if you read my blog you love stamping so take time to stamp up a card and send it to someone special. Would love to hear who you sent a card to this week!
Create your own miniature winter wonderland with this photopolymer set.

Patsy,
Can you give me a few details on this card? Mainly the colors used and how you made the snow. It is adorable.
Patsy Waggoner says
I stamped the trees & snow twice once on the Soft Sky and once on Whisper White and then cut out the whisper white snow and placed on top of the Soft Sky stamped image. Did the same with the card stamped on Whisper White and then Soft Sky. colored the Car with markers and cut out the windows from the soft sky and adhered to the car.
