Winter Tweets!

It's hard to believe it's November already! We finally moved into our new house two weeks ago and even though things are getting settled, I feel like the holidays will be here before I know it! Thank goodness I saved some great samples from our July catalog to share with you that are perfect for the holiday season, because my craft room is still in a bit of an uproar!

This week's theme for the Stampendous Design Team is "Winter Tweets". The Cardinal on Pine Stencil (DWLL576) makes a sweet, colorful card to fit the theme perfectly.
