JUST ADD INK #43 - "JUST ADD CHRISTMAS"

My excitement at making Christmas cards had waned a bit lately, because I've made a LOT.  For this reason, I wasn't sure that I'd put an entry in at Just Add Ink this week.  However, I have renewed enthusiasm, after receiving a gorgeous new stamp set in the mail this week (funny how those brown boxes just keep turning up, haha). 

Ethan, my 10-year-old, has his own Stampin' Up! "wish list" going, bless him.  One of the sets he'd been pestering me to buy was "Sparkly and Bright"; a cute Christmas set.  I relented, after deciding yet another Christmas stamp set couldn't hurt.  As with most of the other stamp sets I own, I've been inspired by gorgeous creations by Renee Van Stralen - that girl seriously rocks!

So, I spent a bit of time in my craft room last night, and came up with this card, that makes me smile.  Hope it does the same for you!  It's a simple one, but I think it's pretty darn cute.
