The images were stamped with Versamark and embossed- the Cloisonne Nesting Squares embossed in Queens Gold and the Punch and Spell Alphabet letters with Valentine Sparkle EP. The Smallest of the nesting squares was trimmed out for each square, and I watermarked with the image on the entire red background with Versamark.
The sentiment and holly are Stampendous images.

o girl... i hear ya on "unused" stamps. i have 16 photoboxes FILLED with stamps - yep.... 16 boxes. my stamps are catagorized by theme (i.e. flowers, baby, animals, circles, etc) and i have them in avery elle stamp envelopes (nice and thin) and each box holds 35-40 envelopes. so does that tell ya anything? i STILL keep going back to same ones over and over..... and don't even mention the dies as i'm FINALLY working on putting them with the catagory they fit in with or they will NEVER get used! what a job!!! LOL.
absolutely GORGEOUS card. i love the gold!
no decorations outside. not a one. we have a "rule" in the community that they want the decor down by Jan. 15. and if there's a blizzard????? really? for us old folk??? anyway, as it's just me and the dog i only decorate to make me happy... which as you've read on my blog... is just about nothing. at least my heart has christmas in it... tho it's still a tad early for me - LOL.
wishing you and yours a very merry and blessed holiday season!
hugs :)
