Christmas Card Club "Something beginning with S"

Good morning all.

Don't know what is up with Google Chrome at the moment but it's a nightmare! I can barely view my blog and can't access my BT email account at all...it's been going on for weeks and although it did right itself for a while last week it's back to square one this weekend grrr!! And don't even mention spam emails...why can't these people find something more useful to do with their time!!

It's time for our fortnightly Christmas Card Club challenge again and this time the theme was set by Hazel who asked us for "Something beginning with S".

Here is my make, I couldn't resist going with Snow:


The gorgeous snow couple stamp is by Penny Johnson and is from Stampavie. I've stamped with Memento ink and coloured the image with promarkers, highlighted with stickles then die cut. The sentiment and snowflake stamps are from Anita's. Oval dies are from Spellbinders. Snow flake die from Memory Box. Papers are from Dovecraft "Tis the Season". I've used a narrow strip of card which I embossed using a text border folder which was a magazine freebie. Ribbons and poinsettia button from my stash.

All finished on the inside but another which needs hand delivered as I couldn't resist the bow and one of my new buttons (can't remember where I got them from though!!)


Do pop over to see the rest of the gang's creations, their links are on my sidebar.
My thoughts are with Rachel and her family as her hubby suffered a huge heart attack a few days ago.

  4. Hi Carol. Like you we have been having problems with Chrome for months. In the end John got rid of it and we are using something called Epic. The good thing about it is that it blocks trackers. The search engine isn't as good as Google but there are plenty of other search engines to use.

    Anyway - your card! I just love the happy expressions on their faces! Great card. Hugs Christine xx
