Gifts on the Way

Challenge time!!!  Are you looking for something to inspire you?  Then head on over to the Your Next Stamp challenge blog.


I was once again inspired by this month's sketch.  I had fun filling up the sleigh and making presents using dies from the YNS Sled with Pressies Die Set.   There are 4 different sized present dies and 3 bows to choose from in addition to the "sled". 
Stamps - YNS Christmas Critters
