Simply Special Wishes

I always love challenges that ask you to use stamps for something other than they were meant. That could mean using part of the stamp in a different way, or in this case, using it for an occasion other than it was intended. I used the Simply Special set from Paper Pretties for this card. It comes with a sentiment that reads "You make even the simple things special." I suppose that sentiment would have still worked for this Christmas card with a "Merry Christmas" on the inside, but I chose a different sentiment all together. I decided that maybe by coloring the image in Christmas colors and using the Holly Cuttlebug folder on the card base, it would really make this look like a Christmas card. This is one of my favorite Paper Pretties images (other than the Sophias, of course!) and I wanted to see if I could use it as a holiday stamp as well. A gardener would probably really love this. Thanks for stopping by today! Hope your last minute holiday shopping and organizing is going well! I'm still working on that myself! :) Have a great day!
