Christmas Greetings

Stampendous has so many wonderful Christmas greetings this year and the one I've used today just happens to be my favorite!  This is from the awesome Holiday Wishes Perfectly Clear Stamps Set and each greeting is perfect for the season.  I really love this set for my Christmas cards and I'm sure it will be a favorite staple for years to come!

And, how about this cute Brown Bear!?  He is just so cute!  He's one of the new CURIO stamps that doubles as a cute little desktop reminder to smile while you're making your cards.  What a sweet way to keep your stress level down!

Here's what I used to create this card:
