WINTER WONDERLAND CHALLENGE - WEEK 2

Hi Everyone

A little later than my normal Friday excitement - but here at last!!

Started off my evening in organisation mode. Lots to sort and clear out before we can have a new boiler fitted in our garage and a new bathroom upstairs. (Hopefully it will be worth all the mess we are going to get into over the next few weeks).

The evening ended beautifully though in my little craft space.

I am dedicating tonight's creation to my blog mate Brenda. I know she thinks I am completely mad to be making Christmas cards in June but I need to do this for a couple of reasons. One being that I always end up rushing and making them at the last minute and not being happy with them and secondly .. .. .. and probably the most annoying for many people .. .. .. I SIMPLY LOVE AND ADORE CHRISTMAS!!!!

This weeks theme was "A Christmas Carol". I didn't have anything to do a Charles Dickens theme with so I went with my favourite Christmas Carol ever .. .. .. .. Silent Night. I love this carol.

So Brenda, here is your card:

To make Brenda's card I used:

Backing paper: Sorry I cannot remember. This is one of those papers that has been in my paperbox for about 2.5 years!!!!!
Images: Snowman = Stampendous (sorry but I have worn the name off the side) .. ..Snowflakes = Great Impressions
Brads, holographic peel offs and ribbon from my stash box
Diamond Stickles
Ranger Embossing Tinsel "Bridal"

There we go - tonight's creation.

Lots to do over the weekend and hopefully some more crafting too.

Have a great weekend everyone and thanks for calling by.

Love Jules xx

    Oooh I love Christmas too Jules and Christmas cards are my favourites to make once I get back into the swing of them.

    This one is a beauty and that carol always gives me goosebumps when I hear it.
