Have yourself a merry little Stamp Simply challenge!

As I write this, kidlets are getting all snuggled up in their beds with visions of... presents and candy running through their heads! The big fat man in a suit is ready to hit chimneys far and wide. YIPPPEE! My daughter told me a cute joke the other day -- What did Santa say to the chimney on Christmas Eve?

You really shouldn't be smoking!! HAHAHAHAHA! Gotta love kid jokes!

Moving on! Christmas comes with a little extra present, a challenge to say thanks! Sharon's Stamp Simply challenge (ssnotime119) is to create some clean and simple Thank You Notes to send out. Any theme goes -- whatever you are in the mood for!


For my card, I chose to make a simple Christmas Thank You. I actually whipped up a bunch yesterday and already sent some out!
This card was so easy to create! I took the Winter Bouquet set from Flourishes, some ribbon, a Martha Stewart Edge Punch, some Flourishes Classic Ivory paper, Fired Brick Distress Ink, a burnt red cardstock (SU) and some Copper Ribbon Slides and... that's all it took!
And above is the finished product! Easy peasy! I think I made all of the cards in the group picture in about 45 minutes. Want to see what the rest of the Stamp Simply team created for their clean and simple thank yous? Just click on over and see......
