Winter Stampin' Sampler



My customers and I have been enjoying making what I call "Stampin' Samplers" over the past six months!  We've already made a generic sampler that can be displayed all year long; we've made a Halloween Stampin' Sampler; we've made a Christmas Stampin' Sampler; and then we got together between Christmas and New Year's to make this Winter Stampin' Sampler!  The colors are so pretty together:  Bashful Blue, Baja Breeze, Whisper White, and Silver Glimmer Paper.  There were 12 different squares for them to choose from, so some people made a 9-square sampler and used the other three squares to put on cards.  The rest of us, who couldn't choose which three squares to eliminate, made a sampler with all 12 squares!  Next up - a Valentine's Day Stampin' Sampler!  Stay tuned!
