For the blog hop, I was assigned the new It's a Magical Season stamp set. I used it to make this layout of Jeffery's Christmas last year...he was super thrilled to get his laptop! :) {this first pic is a scan - the colors are truer in this image than in the photo images. Not sure why the camera didn't pick up the colors as well.}
On display in my living room. {Display racks available in my Etsy store, if interested.}
Title done with a portion of the 3x3 fancy tri fold card and the largest stamp in this set, Magical Holiday. Love this!
In addition, I used the sweet ornaments die from the Warm Holiday Fun stamp and die set.

Journaling stamps from Gift Card Sentiments and More Gift Card Sentiments. Name and date letters and tape/label strips from the new Just Simply Live stamp and die set. Love the font in this one!

Whew! Was that enough for you!? Well you're not finished yet if you're hopping along with us!
