Twinkles Glow with Stamps

Happy Thursday everyone!! I hope you are all well!! Today I have two creations to share with you!

The first is a Christmas I created using Peace and Joy available at Our Daily Bread Designs.  It was so fun to create using the new snowflake dies from Our Daily Bread Designs which match this set!!! They will be available in the store on October 1!!  The rich razzleberry snowflake layered behind the stamped snowflakes is using the Create a flake 1 from Spellbinders.
