If you have been following along with the first looks, you have seen the Wanderlust set. Definitely my favorite of this release. Love all the sentiments and images in this one! Here is the card I made. That little star/asterisk shape? It's the candy from the No Peeking set. I love finding new uses for my stamps, especially the holiday sets!
You should have arrived here from the talented Savannah O'Gwynn's blog. I am the last stop on the Stampede today, so if you've missed any of the excitment be sure to head back to the beginning over on the Mama Elephant Blog!

How fun, the peppermints almost look like falling blossoms in those pretty colors. Simple sentiment cards are my favorite--I think this is one of my favs in this month's stampede!
