:::Joy of Christmas/Children:::

 This weeks theme is the “Joy of Christmas/Children”…our hostess Barbara Hurst made this precious gothic arch using beautiful stamping techniques. What comes to your mind with this theme? Children under the Christmas tree opening gifts? visiting Santa? singing Christmas carols? Whatever your vision may be we wish to see it hear at Gothic arches this week.

About our hostess:

I had the pleasure of picking this week’s theme and hope you enjoy doing it as much as I did. I live in the desert west of the US. I have been stamping for 6 years, actively for the past 2 years. I have had many passions over the years and find rubber stamping and making backgrounds enjoyable because of the wonderful stampers across the world.

I think that is what keeps my passion for stamping fresh, by seeing and learning from everyone else. Thanks to all of you who give me such inspiration each and everyday. I hope that everyone has a Wonderful Holiday and New Year. Cheers, too many more stamping opportunities in the New Year.
