Stamp Anniething: Heard You've Been Good

The Elf on the Shelf became popular in 2005. My youngest child was about eight years old then. I've always had a couple of elves I would put on the mantel as Christmas decorations, but I never thought of hiding them in different places. Probably because they were quite big and hard to hide. These elves are cute, just like this stamp from Stamp Anniething's November 2024 release called Treat Yours"elf". Instead of using traditional colors of red and green, I love using this shade of purple, grape, for this card.
