I for one will be so happy to get through this season of Black Friday sales - since I have so many wonderful Christmas sets that only get used once a year, I feel they are 'like new' each time I use them!
Take this darling Warmest Wishes set from Papertrey Ink that has been around for YEARS - I could only find the dies in their shop so perhaps they have discontinued it... such a shame!
I adore it simply stamped in black - so CAS and sweet, right?
Perfect for this:
I'm quite sure I bought the set because of this wonderful Polar Bear - Tom's favorite.
Dressed in this Nordic sweater, he can stand the coldest of snowy days!
I 'free-handed' a little iceberg for him and out came the Stickles - 'tis the season!
One of these is heading over to Just us Girls for challenge #707 - their last of the year! A bittersweet ending as Elizabeth, Lisa, and Nancy are saying goodbye - thanks for the years and years of fabulous inspiration, ladies - and thanks to Bobby for this great circle design challenge!

YES! The clean lines are perfect for this set and I adore them too...especially that polar bear (though you know me, I would have been tempted to colour that jumper/sweater for sure)!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet....especially in black and white. That little bear is definitely stylin' in his sweater!
