CAROLING DUCK!

Hi Everyone

I hope you have been having a good weekend.  

This Saturday has certainly been a lot calmer than last Saturday when I was up to my neck getting ready for the wedding fayre.

So the Christmas card makes continue and this month the Penny Black Saturday Challenge is looking for "Cute Christmas".   Well most of my Penny Black stamps are "cute" .. .. but this one gets centre stage today!

Love the papers too which I saw this morning on my lovely buddy's blog Doreen.  I fell in love with the snowflake paper (can't think why) .. .. but when I did the download and saw the papers alongside the snowflakes I was totally sold on the paper that looks like a piece of knitting!!!  Love, love, love it and it is in two colourways too!!  Double bonus .. .. thanks Doreen xx  I might even love that more than the snowflakes!!

Anyway, here is my "cute Christmas make":




This used:

Image:  Penny Black  "2988H" Caroling Duck!
Sentiment:  Penny Black "3024F" Xmas Spirit
Backing Paper "Cuddly Buddly" Silent Night
ProMarkers
Metallic Cord
Diamond Stickles
Self Adhesive Pearls

and that is it!

Thank you for all your lovely comments on my double printing cards from my last two post .. .. I bet you are pleased I gave you a break from it tonight!

Catch you again tomorrow with my snippet make .. .. lots of Christmas snippets hanging around the craft pod!!!  :-)

Love

    Yes Jules this certainly fits the 'cute' category, and what unique paper that is with the knitting stitches - love it.

    I loved the double printing options but i love this too!!!
    I have some ivory cable knit paper...think i will have to resurrect it from the heritage folder it is sitting in...It was one I picked up 15 12x12 sheets for a dollar at the scrapbook garage sale.
    Thanks for the inspiration to get it out and use it up!!!

    Your card is so cute...That little image is too funny...The musical notes on his little book and the background Christmas carol sheet paper is perfect!!!

    You are right that paper is fabulous, especially the knitted one although the hearts and trees xstitch is a very close second. I think I may need it too. Hugs, Amanda x
