I know. I’ve used another retired stamp set this month. You’ll have to forgive me as I create these calendars…well, about now! And the Holiday catalog and all it’s beautiful images is sitting right there on my desk.

- Stamps:Â Thankful Forest Friends (Holiday 2015, retired)
- Color Palette:Â Cajun Craze, Blackberry Bliss, Crushed Curry, Old Olive, Tangelo Twist, Wild Wasabi
- Accessories:Â Paper Snips, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Stampin’ Write markers

I’ve begun to include Paper Snips in my Project Recipe when I fussy-cut an image. If you haven’t taken the leap and treated yourself to this indispensable tool, I urge you to give them a try. They aren’t expensive ($10) and you will be amazed by the precise work they make possible. Stuff your stocking!
