About my Handmade Holiday card 

I entered this card in a challenge at kewlstamps-n-morechallenges.blogspot.com. It's my most favorite Christmas card yet. This stamp is from Impression Obsession, it's one of my favorite stamp companies. When I first saw this stamp, I thought what a fun holiday stamp to make Christmas cards with.

I started rubber stamping and card making in March, 2006, and haven't looked back. I created my blog in Sept, 2008, discovered card challenges and am having such amazing fun.
