A BIT OF CHRISTMAS

Hi Everyone

Happy Saturday!

Sorry for my absence this last week .. .. .. things have been super busy and I just haven't had time for blogland at all (or even housework!  Eeekk!!  Though I have made amends "a little bit" there today).

Next I was determined to give my blog a little shake .. .. and if my weeks are going to continue to fly by at this rate of knots I had better get some more Christmas cards into my stock box.  I really don't know where this year is going!




This used:

Image:  DigiStamp Boutique "Xmas Jasper" (there are two Jasper images in the download)
Sentiment:  Put together using two sentiment sets "Sketchy Christmas Words" and "Male Sentiments  Distressed"   (30% off Christmas Images and sentiments at DigiStamp Boutique this week)
Backing Paper:  Trimcraft "12 Days of Christmas"
ProMarkers
Glamour Dust (Crystal and Gold)
Glossy Accents
My Trusty Sewing Machine

and that is it .. .. apart from a couple of hearts from my little heart box!

I am entering my creation into the following challenges:

CAS Christmas Card Challenge - where the theme for this month is "Masculine"
ABC Christmas Challenge - where the theme is "Christmas" using either "L" for love or "M" for mice
Crafty Hazelnuts Christmas Challenge -  where the theme is "anything goes as long as it is Christmas - with an optional theme of "winter fun".  Does decorating a Christmas tree constitute winter fun?  It certainly does for me LOL!!!  One of my favourite tasks of Christmas!

Have a good rest of the weekend everyone .. .. I hope you are seeing a bit of sunshine today and that you see even more of it tomorrow!!

    Fabulous card and a super design with a cute image.
    Not good news that you had no time for blogging but good news that you had no time for housework.

    This year is really flying by fast Jules! I so need for time to slow down, but don't think it will for me or anyone else. As they say, "time waits for no one". So true! lol This is an adorable card Jules, I love that sweet image. Love your color combo too, that plaid works so well with the kraft color. Hugs, Brenda
