My Favourite 5 Christmas Cards of 2014

Debby at A Scrapjourney is again asking for our fave Christmas cards for the year.  Most of mine seem to feature the Sweet Cuts Classy Deer die from Sweet Stamps. (I love that little deer : )

Plus one extra because this set of mini Rudolphs was so easy to make and turned out cute and elegant at the same time.

Just click on each pic if you want to go to the original posts.
