Tonight is the night!!! Verve will be releasing the NEW stamps tonight, HERE in the SCS forum. Come over and chat with us!!! Oh, and did you notice the NEW die Julee is releasing?? It is called the Sweet Scallop Tag Die. I used it on my card HERE.
Today Julee asked us to use either the New Winter sets or the Fall sets released a few weeks ago. I chose to use the new ones since I have been having a blast playing with them! It works out well since I do need some Christmas cards!!!
Both of my cards are super simple. The layout of my first card is based on Clean & Simple Stamping's FTL113. Since they are both so simple, I will include recipe's for both below. I'm thinking that they are pretty self explanatory!!! LOLOL!!!
It is hard to tell on my next card that I pierced a snowflake/star trail but it is there, I promise.
Thank you so much for stopping by! Here is a list of Diva's who are participating today!! Don't forget to leave comments along the way to get a chance to win some FREE Verve!!!

Hi, loving the card at the top. It's so much fun! It reminds me of Christmas candy! The second card is simple but very nice. You can't go wrong with the pink/brown combo! Very nice work! Thanks for sharing.
