Merry Christmas Everyone!

Much as I'd love to send all my bloggy friends a Christmas card, there just aren't enough hours in the day to make one for you all, so here is one dedicated to all my followers.  Thanks for all the comments you've left me throughout the year & I wish you all a very Merry Christmas.

Today's card uses my Mulberry Wood, Sledging By Stamp, and Fancy Pants, Winter Wonderland Paper along with ribbon, a pearl & a LOTV date sentiment.

Snow Much Fun!

This time last week, we awoke to a covering of snow here in Scotland - luckily this week we are back to more seasonal weather and the only snow around is on my card.

My card uses the lovely Sledging By stamp by Mulberry Wood.  It's coloured with Promarkers then various embellishments added to complete the card.

Sledging By

Yesterday, I managed to find time to play with more of my goodies from Crafter's Companion and this time I went for my Christmas stamp by Mulberry Wood.  As soon as I saw this cute snowman, I knew I wanted him and he helped kick start my Christmas card production.

I was really good at the beginning of the year and was making a Christmas card every week, but this past month has been terrible for Christmas cards, so I'll have to get going again with them otherwise Christmas may have to be cancelled - slight exaggeration! Sorry the photo is a bit dark - will take another in day light.

Challenges;
