I also wanted to share one last image from Ike's Art. This one wasn't finished when the challenge went live, so I wanted to make sure that everyone was able to enjoy this one last image from Ike's.

And the simplicity of this card is just gorgeous. I love it! And I love that it says "Christ The Savior Is Born". That stamp is fantastic and I love cards that reference the true meaning of Christmas! Absolutely wonderful card! Brilliant Heather!
