The new Memory Box stamps are a treat, and I used two of them in today's card for our Outside the Box blog. I wanted my card to resemble those old-fashioned holiday postcards of long ago. I like my overall result but feel there is something missing....
I wonder... do you think it would look better if the right side of the card had a punched border, too?

Love the vertical sentiment! Perhaps the sentiment should be on one side, the punched border on the other? Actually, I like it just the way it is!!

Actually, I really like the border on the left side. It's nice to see such a festive holiday card now so the brainstorming can begin early with less stress!
Thanks for sharing!
