I love a good christmasy stamp set. I love a good christmasy stamp set even more if it is versatile. Enter "remember december". If you like doing mini albums (I'm thinking dec. daily type) and/or project life, this stamp set is IT. I could totally see myself using this on layouts as well. I love how this set combines essentials, like journaling lines and borders, the card header rectangle, that great outlined number set, as well as a variety of typography sentiments: graphic circles, typewriter-ish and script. Such a good variety.

I choose to highlight the stamp set by making up some project life cards. These would be perfect for a December mini album or holiday-type project life spread.

I simply used the stamp set, simple grid cards, a few random embellishments and played around. A paper clip here, a bit of washi tape there. Combining bits and pieces with a stamp set helps make leftovers seem fresh. The cards came together quick and you could easily make up several in one sitting to have waiting for your next project.

I love the addition of the red thread to just highlight a few stamped sentiments.

I also made a few everyday type project life cards. Did I mention I like versatility? I like to be able to use a holiday stamp set beyond the holiday, to get the most bang for my buck so to speak. :)
