The Queen for the Day is Cards_By_America who has a gallery FILLED with elaborately detailed cards. I chose one of her simpler ones for my inspiration: HERE. I used the idea of "3" on a white ground and made a Christmas card.
The F4A was VERY timely for me since I just returned from the East Coast. In Westport, CT, I went to my favorite independent stamp store loaded with "early Christmas" gift certificates. : ) There is also loads of inspiration there. That's where the idea of using a heart punch to make pine trees came from....not original to me. So my stamps, punch and moose are all new.....band box fresh from the store!

Super cute winter scene, Sallie! Great little wood moose. The wavy crimper and fancy edged scissors adds such terrific detail to your snowy hills. Love that. What a cool idea to use hearts to make trees. Like the branches you stamped on the, too.

What an amazing holiday card Sally. The crimping and die cut edges on the snow banks make the most awesome bkg. Perfect choice for the matting and I love your single moose...I hope his mate is on her way. Right into my favs. and pinned so I can try that snow bank idea. Love it!

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?
life is something that happens only when you run out of cardstock
