20th Advent Window - Stamparatus Curves

 So a little simple stamping . . . with my stamparatus!

Stamp set: Curvy Christmas

Ink: Balmy Blue, Cherry Cobbler, Shaded Spruce

Card stock: Classic Christmas 6"x6" DSP

With the shortest day tomorrow, and a very significant planetary alignment happening, lets look forward to more positive change, even with a very different Christmas ahead.

The joy of stamparatus is being able to make multiple cards, and have included my selection to show even with the help of stamparatus it is IMPOSSIBLE for me to make two cards the same! ;-)
