CHRISTMAS KICKSTART CHALLENGE

Good morning everyone

I hope you have all been having a good week despite all the rain .. .. .. but if the weather forecast is right we are going to be having a lovely sunny bank holiday weekend!  Let's keep our fingers crossed.

So August is flying by in the blink of an eye and I am behind with this month's Christmas cards .. .. .. I still have two to do so I decided I had better get those done and off my list.

This one is for taking over to the Christmas Kickstart Challenge where the theme this fortnight is "Christmas Birds".  




This used:

Image:  Penny Black "2995F" Stocking!
Sentiment:  Woodware Clear Magic "FRS771" Merry & Bright
Backing Paper:  The Works (my favourite Christmas paper pad from last year .. .. so I picked up another three in their new year sale .. .. back in the days when we were allowed to go out as and when we wanted  .. .. sigh!)
Circle Die:   MFT - 435 Blueprints 12
Wavy Edge Die:  The Works
ProMarkers
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Ribbon
Gems
Crystal Glamour Dust

and that is another Christmas card into the box.  Just one more to go for August!

Enjoy the rest of the day everyone.  The rain is just starting here .. .. again!!!

    Beautiful Christmas card Jules, gorgeous colours combo...this stamp goes back to about 1996...how do I know?..I used to keep a book of all my stamps and this was one of them but sadly I no longer have it.....
    rain yesterday was horrendous and still it continues today but not as bad...hopefully we will also have a lovely weekend..

    Another beautiful Christmas card Jules, and dare I say it, I have that stamp also ! Yes, it's rainy, but good for the garden and nature. Next week would get better, just as well, as I'm going to the sea. Schools are starting again in Belgium, so it will be quiet there. Hugs, Enny

    This is lovely Jules. Aqua and red is one of my favourite festive colour combos so this cutie ticks all the boxes for me. The stitched in ribbon looks fab too xx

    Goodness, your cards always make me go 'wow' when I see them, and this adorable creation is no exception, Jules! Love that little robin so much. Thanks for playing again at Christmas Kickstart, sorry I'm a little late with my comment - it's been a busy few days! Jo x
