MERRY CHRISTMAS

Hi Everyone

Happy Wednesday!! We are half-way through the week already?!?!?  Where is it going?

I had a lovely delivery this morning of a Memory Box die that needed putting to use straight away LOL!!!  I was persuaded to invest in it after seeing it used beautifully on Kath's lovely blog here.  Thank you for the inspiration Kath xx

I bought a  Memory Box Die to use last Christmas and got lots of use out of it .. and I  feel sure that the same is going to be happening with this one.  I love it already:




This card used:

Memory Box Die "98680" Grand Merry Christmas
Backing Papers:  Lili of the Valley "Classic Christmas"
Circa Design Punch - a tiny little snowflake punch (with no name on it)
Christmas tree just hand cut
White Gel Pen
Glamour Dust
Ribbon, pearls and gems from my stash box

Is it just me or does a Christmas card feel even more like Christmas if it has a red ribbon on it?

OK my little dinner break is nearly over .. .. sandwiches just about gone .. .. so off to play with pretty ribbons on wedding stationery (once my hands have had a good old scrub). 

Have a good day everyone.

Love

    FABULOUS Jules! Love this card.

    So funny, my card for tomorrow has two of the papers you used on it. AND, the very same die is coming up as a prize in the Playground very soon. I love how you used it here - perfect!!

    Hugs, Di xx

    Another fabulous Christmas card, Jules. If you keep this up you will have plenty of cards come December. I'm certain you are right about the red ribbon - anything red and green looks Christmassy to me :) Hope the wedding stationery is coming along nicely ... I need no excuse to play with pretty ribbons :)) Hugs, Elizabeh xx

    Oh no another item for my wish list!!! LOL! What a beautiful card Jules and really striking with that die sentiment. I agree on the red bow - in fact I just love the traditional colours although I do like to go for a modern take sometimes too! x

    Wow Jules - LOVE this beautiful Xmas card - the MB die is a "must-have" (in other words - I must have it)!! The LOTV paper is fabulous - very traditional yet it has a modern touch too.
    I agree with your comment about red ribbon - it completes a Christmas card perfectly!
    Hugs, Sylvia xx
