YOU THOUGHT IT WAS ALL OVER

Hi Everyone

Happy Friday!  (had to stop and think what day it was then!) LOL!!!

Well  you thought Christmas was over and done with .. .. well Christmas 2019 might be complete but for me I am going to do the same as I did last year and make Christmas cards all year .. .. and today is my first!  

It made such a difference in the run up to Christmas to have a lovely stash of cards behind me that I want exactly the same to happen this year .. .. .. and preferably with even more in the box.  

So here is Christmas card number one for popping into my currently empty Christmas box:




This used:

Image:  Lili of the Valley "Snowy Hugs" 
Sentiment:  Kaisercraft Clear Stamp Set "North Pole"
Backing Paper:  Paper Choice Printables "Tartan" via Etsy
Poppy Stamps Die Set:  Stitched Market Tag
Ribbon and Cord
Nail Heads
Glamour Dust
My Trusty Sewing Machine

Off now to add my project to the Christmas Kickstart Challenge where the theme is "Penguin Parade".

Our tree and decorations are coming down over the weekend .. .. boo hoo!!  The house is going to look very dull and boring this time tomorrow!

Catch you soon.

    Your card is adorable, Jules. The patterned paper you've used makes a perfect frame around the cute image. xx
