What's even better than an amazing Curtain Call challenge?!  How about teaming up with CAS-ual Fridays Stamps and offering a two-for-one inspiration?!

CAS-ual Friday Stamps is our fabulous sponsor for Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge: CAS-ual Christmas!  The crew gals swooned over our very own CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Christmas stamp set and we're so excited to show them to you today!

How fun is this stamp set that I used, Naughty or Nice?!  LOVE it...so many fun possibilities for Christmas tags for family gifts this year!

The LEAD of the CAS-ual Christmas will receive a CAS-ual Fridays Stamps stamp or die set of their choice!

The entire release is absolutely incredible, especially if you love Christmas!  I LOVE Christmas!

I used a couple of the new products from the release on my card, Snowflakes Designer Dies and Stunning Snowflakes...a gorgeous combination!  They are available to add to your stash today...just hop on over to the Uniko Studio Store and happy shopping!

The Freshly Made Sketches #109 was the layout inspiration to display a sequined snowflake!

It was a long week around my neck of the woods, and I needed something to get my mind off of things!  What better way to do that than to do a little crafting and sequin placement!  That's right, ALL of those sequins were placed by hand, but let me tell you...it was a therapeutic task for me and ust what I needed to de-stress!

Thanks so much for stopping by the stage!
