Christmas Card Club - Playing Catch Up

Good evening all. I've spent a lovely lazy day crafting and managed to do some catching up with myself and some getting ahead!!

I've missed several of the challenges at our little Christmas Card Club lately due to holidays so set to today to catch up....I have cheated a little as I've only made one card to cover three challenges!!

The first challenge was from Claire was to use pastel colours and include a circle ; next came Karen and she wanted to see an origami or teabag folded topper; finally Asha gave us the theme "Oh Carol" - your favourite festive tune....I've gone for "Let it Snow".


The teabag topper is one I have had saved for a long time but don't know where it originates from; snowflake is a Christmas tree decoration; backing paper and ribbon are from my stash; dies from Spellbinders.

Sorry my photo is a little wonky!!


You'll find the rest of the girls listed on my sidebar if you'd like to pop over and see their creations.

Challenges entered:
CHNC Extra - anything goes
Delicious Doodles - Christmas in August
Crimbo Crackers - it's snow business
Divas by Design - Christmas

  17. Gorgeous card, Carol - thanks for sharing for my CHNC challenge extra for August - as there is no sentiment on this card you could also link for this week's challenge on CHNC weekly - CHNC 138 - would love to see it there too. And it's such a good one for the CCC challenge. x
