And here is my project for today,
I've used the superbly sweet
Christmas Choir Girl by Crissy Armstrong,
painted in distress inks, of course!!

Additionally, I got to play with the new Ornaments Border Die and Holiday Circle Pennants designed for Whimsy Stamps by the talented Ann Vento!!

The papers are a mix of Authentique and Magnolia, gems are Kaiser, flowers are Wild Orchid Crafts and bells I found at Michaels but cannot recall the brand.

Yep, those who know me can already tell, this cutie was not quite done...

Here is the project as first posted.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!
We'll see you soon with another release day project!!
hugs, stephanne
