Miracle of Christmas

Happy Wednesday!!  It's time for another challenge from The House That Stamps Built.  This week is a favorite of all: Anything Goes!  We'll expect to see lots of entries this week!  Here is my inspiration card:

I just got a package of new stamps in the mail this week and both the sentiment and the ribbon image were in it.  As you can see, I didn't waste any time inking them up!  Right now, the weather is far from Christmas-y, but maybe the theme and the nice icy, blue colors will help cool everything off.  Not that I want it to be cold!!  But it is the end of September (in New England) and the temps have been in the 80's with high humidity.  Definitely not Fall weather!

Supplies:
Stamps: Repeat Impressions "Holly Ribbon" and "May the miracle . . ."
Dies: Spellbinders "A2 Matting Basics, A" rectangle and "Beaded rectangles"
