Holiday Spirit Sentiments 5

Hi Friends!!! It's Day 5 already...where does the time go?  Is it me or does each release time go by faster?  Well today is a treat.  I have stamped many of the sentiments on the focal background of my card today. They just screamed to be used in this manner!!

Today's project is a fun project for everyone.  I started with a fresh colour combo and it became my inspiration for the entire project.  Last year my kids made these really neat stocking ornaments at our local museum last December where we learned about a pioneer Christmas.  We got to see all the toys and decorations that were made for the family in the late 1800s and early 1900s.  It was that experience that inspired me to create the felt gift certificate ornament...of course there weren't gift cards in the early days (maybe IOUs...) but I figured I would put a 2000s twist on it.

I wanted to show you that you can either have the GC showing or you can hide it...
