Christmas Figure Skates

This is for sure rushing the season but Maria sent me this beautiful Multi Step Step Clear stamp set of Figure Skates, sponsored by Kitchen Sink Stamps, and I've been wanting to play with the set.  It's awesome, they look so real! I used to ice skate every winter when I lived in Iowa as we had the perfect setting on our property.  The only problem was, when it snowed, the snow covered the ice so you had to scoop off the snow and back then, we didn't have snow blowers! But my Dad and Brother were good sports about pitching in and helping since I was a skinny little kid with no muscle!  I also used the sentiment from Multi Step Clear Tiny Norway Pine and Multi Clear Stamp Set, Build a Garland for the Garland and beautiful red bow!  That bow is a classic, it looks so perfect! It was such a fun card to make even if I was pushing the Yuletide a bit so indulge me, please and enjoy!!!
