Welcome to the Stamper's Dream & Friends Blog Hop! I'm super excited about all the very special friends that are hopping with us today.  Michelle has asked some very special gals to join the dream team today to share there fabulous talent...thanks for joining us!  I have used my new favorite Christmas stamps....this set is from JustRite, it is called Merry & Bright ...wow...I adore the fact that you can pair it with the Spellbinders Heirloom Ornaments Nesties.  I stamped both ornaments and put the sentiment inside the larger one.  The smaller ornament has a place for a sentiment but I stitched inside of that one so that I could pair them together with only one sentiment.  I stamped them and heat embossed them(using Judikins embossing powder) onto BasicGrey designer paper.  The sweet trim under the ribbon is a fun find that I found the other day with my dh, we go on scavenger hunts from time to time looking for whatever catches our eye....this caught mine....hehehehe.
