Hi Everyone
Well I have decided to try and be a good girl this year and to start making my Christmas cards early - in the hope of not needing to make last minute panic cards like last year. (If my memory serves me right I was still making them two days before Christmas!!!!!).
I have decided to play along with Winter Wonderland - a new challenge blog dedicated to taking some of the stress out of Christmas. Just what I need!!! I can't promise to play along every week but each card made is one ready and waiting to send to someone special.
The theme this week is "Oh Christmas Tree". It was lovely to open the Christmas stash box again.
My Christmas cards are always simple and always include as much sparkle as I feel I can tastefully add .. .. .. and of course the compulsory heart.
So here is card no. 1 .. ..

So here is card no. 1 .. ..
To make this little creation I used:
Image: Penny Black 3741K "Filigree Tree" (coloured with a Promarker pen)
Backing Paper: Pink Petticoat
Snowflakes: Cuttlebug Snowflakes Die
Diamond Stickles
PM Adhesive Pearls
Fiskars Heart Punch
and that is it.
Woo hoo!!! One ready already and waiting.
Well my favourite night of the week is here again. Hubby in his usual Friday night position - in the kitchen making his famous fish, chips, potato fritters and mushy peas and I am in my usual position - in my crafting space with the occassional little tipple being delivered to celebrate Friday. Oh I am such a lucky girl .. .. .. so glad I managed to grab my Mr Right all those years ago before someone else nabbed him!!
Will catch you again over the weekend .. .. .. keep your fingers crossed .. .. .. my car has its MOT tomorrow. It is getting a little worse for wear now so it may not get a clean bill of health.
Anyway, thanks for calling by and have a wonderful weekend everyone.
Love Jules xx

You are a good girl Jules. I said last Xmas I was going to make a Xmas card every week so that they were all done in plenty of time for next Xmas.
Guess how many I made so far? ONE !!!!!
Your first one of the year is beautiful and has just enough Christmassy sparkle.

Good God woman, Christmas cards in June, can't even think about them until at least after my holiday. No November is quite early enough.
Anyway, just tried to reply to your mail and my servers having non of it and just won't send it, exactly the same as earlier this week. So not ignoring you, just can't be done it seems, no idea why as all otrhers are going OK.
