sweet Christmas gingerbread adventure

Do you love sweets as much as I do?  I didn't try to fool myself into resolving to give them up, but if you did, the Jingle Belles have reminded us that the paper versions have no calories AND make great Christmas cards:

stamp set - unknown (the banner was in my unused bits box); ink - Real Red; card stock - Basic White, Real Red; designer series paper - Gingerbread & Peppermint (retired)

Sometimes I buy designer series paper that I think I'll love, and I do, but I get tired of it if I over use it.  When this paper was available last year, I started out with a one-sheet wonder design to make fourteen cards, and then I just kept using the paper.  I never got tired of it, and I'm pretty sure I used it on more than 30 cards.  It's still a favorite, maybe because gingerbread was always one of my favorite Christmas treats!
