Good Morning everyone!
Ooooh, isn't it getting exciting that its sooooo near to Christmas? Part of me is really sad that I won't be seeing any family this year, but this is the first time in my 10 years with my husband, including since having the kiddies, that we are spending Christmas just the 4 of us. I am really looking forward to starting our own chirstmas traditions...its going to be lovely.
Speaking of traditions, I wanted to make a Christmas card that wasn't traditional!! I decided on a star based one, however, I don't have any stars, so after a while of trying to get the shape right, I managed to kinda make one (don't look too close as it as the points aren't equal!!).
Recipe:
handmade star, rope from chocolates, brads from ebay, chipboard shapes from DCWV, ribbon & buttons from stash, glitter stars from Hobbycraft, Christmas tree from my friend, bell from choc bunny, Merry Christmas Rub On from PaperLane
Hope my friend likes it!! All the bits on there I have had for years but never use..I just went in my embellishment tub and pulled everything out!!
I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
Paper Sundaes #49 - Cut It Out - my star
Sentimental Sundays #34 - Inspired by a Song - mine is 'Merry Christmas'
Lil Red Wagon #59 - Rub Ons - my sentiment is a rub-on
Cooking It Up #42 - Ribbons & Brads - flower is ribbon and gingerbread hubby & wife brad!
Crafty Catz #63 - Choose your own - I've chosen No. 60 - Christmas
Thanks for stopping by and Merry Christmas!
