Merry Christmas

It's Tuesday, my day to share a project created for Topflight Stamps. 

However, before I get to that, I wanted to remind you that Topflight's Cyber Monday Sale ends tonight, November 28th, at 11:59 P.M.

This week our team's theme is "Anything Goes". I'm still in holiday card making mode, so here's another Christmas card, this time created with the Cold Hands Clear Stamp Set 941 by Janet Klein for AALL and Create.
