~Timeless Tuesday and Hydrangea~



is Christmas in July!




I used my Hydrangea set, and embossed it with silver.



I figured, why not use it for Christmas?













 Retrosketches #22
gave me inspiration for the border placement.

 






I've been stamping like mad since yesterday with all this energy...it's a blessing when the ball gets rolling and I can tangibly create something that I've mulled over.


Circuits are clicking for now~I'm enjoying the marathon crafting. ;)
