Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Greetings! It's Tuesday so I'm sharing a project created for Topflight Stamps. This week my TFS teammates and I are celebrating Christmas/Winter in July. I told you all that I'd be back with my second project for the celebration.

I decided to add the Santa hat from the Baa Humbug Clear Polymer Stamp Set to one of the sloths from the Sloths Clear Polymer Stamp Set. Both clear stamp sets are made by Hobby Art, Ltd.. I used two sentiments from the Classic Sentiments Clear Stamp Set by Heffy Doodle I was delighted to discover that the sentiments all fit perfectly on the smallest die from the Sue Wilson Slimline Collection, Essential Rectangle Frames Die Set by Creative Expressions.
