I hope your weekend has been a good one so far.
We did really well with our Christmas shopping today .. .. lots of £1 presents ready for the Christmas table and some of the more "serious" ones too .. .. which is a good job really as I have loads of wedding work to do over the next few weeks.
If the crowds in town today are anything to go by the sooner it is done the better .. .. it was heaving .. .. and people seemed very grumpy and irritated already about the queues everywhere!!!
Anyway, I used the little image I created last night to make this .. .. and I used the lovely sketch that is over on the Sketch N Stash Challenge at the moment
This used:
Image: Penny Black "3057K" Leaping Deer
Sentiment: Hero Arts "F4176" Santa's Reindeers
Backing Papers: First Edition "Silent Night"
Distress Ink Pads (every shade of blue I own LOL!!)
Clear Embossing Powder
Josy Rose: Nail Heads
Diamond Stickles
Cord and charm from my stash box

as part of entering the challenge you need to use a new or neglected piece of crafty stash. Nothing brand spanking new on my card but the Hero Arts sentiment stamp which lists the names of all of Santa's reindeers is very neglected. I bought it second hand when a local craft store was closing down. It has been used a few times on Christmas tags but never on a card before.
Here is the sketch I used if you fancy playing along:
Have a lovely weekend.
Love
