Yep, it's Sunday, September 18th. and that means that you can now find all these fabby new stamps at Kraftin' Kimmie's Shop! I'm so excited about this release. I love Christmas and I'm so happy that Kimmie is releasing a set of Nativity stamps. I will be playing with these a lot for making my Christmas cards. Most of the cards I send are scripturally based (after all, that's what real Christmas is about) and this set, along with the Nativity Sentiments Set, which is also being released today is perfect for me to use. The Angels are also great for Christmas cards.

Anyway, I have already shown cards using the Wise Men and the Shepherd and this card was made using the Mary and Joseph stamp. I love it, their expressions are so sweet as they adoringly watch baby Jesus sleeping.

I used Cosmo Cricket 'Mitten Weather' for my patterned paper, going for my own simple layout. The cardstocks I used were retired Mauve Mist from S.U., Wild Wasabi, Poppy Parade and River Rock. (I love River Rock!). I used the sentiment 'Away In A Manger' from the Nativity Sentiments set, added some red Grosgrain ribbon and some red gems from my stash.

Now, I'm sure you want to know where to hop to from here. Your next stop is the blog of the sweet and lovely Donna all the way over in Australia. You sure won't be disappointed with her work!! I'm assuming you have come here from Melanie's Blog and what an amazing talent she is. If you haven't come from there, you will want to begin the hop at Kraftin' Kimmie's Challenge Blog. So, I wish you happy hopping and happy shopping at the Kraftin' Kimmie's Store if you choose to go there.
