I absolutely was not going to get more Christmas stamps - after all, I can so easily use what I have. Well, our neighbor had a whole box of stamps at her yard sale, and I found 2 or 3 Christmas sentiments I could use - at $1 for all I could not afford to pass them up. Then I went to Michael's for a couple of things, and my dear hubby saw a Christmas stamp - and pretty much forced me to buy it LOL! It is by Stampendous, and is definitely symbolic of Christmas, with the star Bethlehem, and the wise men. I used a gold gift bag to do the mat and the Cheery Lynn pine branches. The bg is from the Faith stack by Paper Studio. A strip of metallic gold ribbon completes the layout.

You absolutely couldn't pass up a deal like that Dorothy, and what a sweet hubby you have! He has great taste in stamps, the one he chose is beautiful and looks very versatile. I love the background paper too.
Cheers,

Lovely card. I love the stamp

Your husband is a keeper Dorothy! I'd rather have a root canal than take my husband to Michael's! He has great taste too! Love the image and your creative recycling of a gift bag! Beautifully done! Thanks for joining us at ODBD!
