Hi Everyone
I hope your Saturday has been good.
I have been working on some orders today but so I had something to share I have made a quick and easy one using some of the leftovers that were lying around from my make of yesterday.
Yesterday was the first time I had used my "Ella Blue" papers and whilst using them they reminded me of some of the papers on the Funky Hand CD "Now That's Funky" .. .. .. and a quick investigation confirmed that I am not losing my memory .. .. the dotty paper behind my tree is from this CD .. .. doesn't it match just perfectly with the Ella Blue papers?

I will have to make a card similar to the one I made yesterday .. .. but using the Funky Hand CD and compare. I know the patterns won't be identical but the colours will be similar and I think they are lovely for Christmas cards in "non-traditional" colours.
Anyway, here is my "left-overs" creation. It isn't very often that scrap papers don't even make their way into the huge scrap box LOL!!!

Glamour Dust
I drew all around the paper pieced tree image with a Quickie Glue Pen and then sprinkled on the compulsory Glamour Dust to give it a little sparkle .. .. .. you can't have a Christmas Card without some sparkle can you? LOL!!
Sorry my make is so simple .. .. but I love it anyway.

Have a lovely evening everyone.
X-Factor for me tonight .. .. but well behind the scheduled time. Hubby has gone to football and they have a late kick off (only just kicking off now) so a bit more crafty time for me with football on in the background and X-Factor later, later.
Thank you for all your lovely comments on my creation of yesterday. I felt a bit guilty that so many of you said you would like to own a Cricut. I bought mine a couple of years ago when a local craft shop reduced everything in their store to half price .. .. .. so my lovely hubby persuaded me that I needed to get one whilst there was such a good offer on. I pretended I needed persuading .. but I didn't really LOL!!!
I don't have many cartridges for my machine .. .. the ones that I do have I have managed to pick up either second hand or in sales (a bit like a lot of my stash really).

Simple is nearly always best and this card shows it. Why do we sometimes add a bit of this and a flower or 2 only to realise it was nicer as it was,lol. Love the papers and the colours. Lovely "funky" paper pieced tree. Great card. Di,xx
gorgeous!! I love how you have made these papers, which to me have a vintage feel to them look so modern and retro! Hugs Juls
Boy have I missed some gorgeous cards this last couple of weeks. I love this one - I think it's the colour and that funky tree. Your die cut reindeer is just fab.
