Merry Christmas Gleaming

True Confession: My love affair with the Brightly Gleaming Designer Series Paper has been going on for over a year. I just could not help myself! It has blues and greens and my all time favorite Pretty Peacock. Last year I bought the entire Christmas Gleaming Suite and made all of my Christmas cards with it. It’s just so pretty! Needless to say I was thrilled when Stampin’ Up! brought it back again this year giving me another opportunity to use this beautiful paper! It’s only around for a few more weeks. I suggest you get you some before it’s GONE GONE GONE.
