I bought this polar bear stamp and sentiment about 10 years ago because I saw a card made with it. And today is the first time my stamp has seen ink! I no longer have any memory of what that card looked like, and this is not the first time this has happened to me. Back then dhDH and I were DINKs (double income, no kids) and I was even more easily enabled. This week's Jingle Belles challenge is "The Ghost of Christmas Present": white as a ghost, a present, a bow, and a touch of traditional Christmas colors. I immediately thought of this unloved stamp. Then I went in search of the perfect sketch. I found it:
It even has the bow. Thank you, Nina of CardPatterns!
Supplies: Beary Christmas stamp (Impression obsession); Memory Box paper "frost" collection; Bazzill cardstock (blues); copic markers; Snowflakes Cuttlebug embossing folder; ribbon (stash); EK Success border punch; SU punch (see sentiment)
Happy Sunday!

Glad I wasn't the only one inking-up a stamp for the first time this week ... I am determined to give love to all of my holiday stamps this year ... love how that cute little bear just pops off the page ... thanks for cooking-up some holiday fun with us at jingle belles this week.

That big bear and itty bitty gift are just adorable! Great job.
Love that bear, June... and as far as I'm concerned blue and white are the perfect Christmas colors.
