I knew I had to have the Nestabilities Labels 7 dies when I saw one of the previewers use it for a book! I'm using it for our immediate family Christmas cards this year, because it's our first holiday without my Mom and I'm having my Dad read, The Night Before Christmas, to all of the grandkids and great grandkids. I wanted him to be very involved, as I think it's going to be a difficult time. The words were computer generated, cut with the Nestabilities, I rolled the pages and used some dimensionals to hold them up. The stockings were stamped with black on sahara and melon on white, cut out and the gold cord was attached to the brads and taffeta ribbon. The sahara panel was Cuttlebugged and attached to the melon mambo base.
