CHRISTMAS KICKSTART CHALLENGE - 100

Hi Everyone

Well July is now well upon us .. .. .. the weather is super warm .. .. .. so the time has come when I try to start pulling Christmas makes into the equation .. .. .. and with the help of the Christmas Kickstart Challenge there is no excuse for lacking inspiration!

The challenge this time is a super special one as Jo has reached the giddy heights of challenge number 100 - well done Jo!!

The theme this time is "Merry Go Round".  At first I thought that meant a Christmas fairground ride .. .. .. but no .. .. .. it is much easier than that .. .. they want to see spots, dots and circles on our creations.  
I am sure we can all manage that!

So here we


This used:

Image Die:  "Merry Christmas Ball" by Craft Discovery via Ebay (free second class delivery)
Backing Papers:  From The Works post Christmas sale
Gold Mirror Card
Snowflake punch
Crystal Glamour Dust
Hot Fix Nail Heads
My Trusty Sewing Machine

For some reason my emails are out of action at the moment - you don't realise just how much you rely on them until they aren't working.  

Enjoy your weekend when it arrives and keep slapping on that sun cream.

  4. What a lovely snow globe! Ugh hopefully it’s just a glitch with your email. Failing that, try a reboot. Shut down your device, or sign out and sign in again. That’s the total of my knowledge 😂, meantime keep 😎 cool xxx

  8. A Christmas faiground ride would be amazing, Jules, however, our theme is (as you realised) much simpler. Such a gorgeous card and your colour combo is a beaut. Thanks for joining Gail and me at The Christmas Kickstart Challenge, and I'm so happy you're in the swing with your cards now, Jo x
