Good morning all.
Pleased to say Gary arrived in Auckland safely, he's booked into a hostel near the Sky Tower and is staying there until Monday. He's hoping to pick up a camper van fairly cheap to travel around in!
Another of the cards I made before Christmas to share with you today, I think this was for one of my sisters.

This cuddly bear says Christmas in just a cozy way. I liked the Gold Label 4 you used for Mr. Ted, and all the other embellies you've used to make this so pretty. I especially liked the use of the triangles as corners too. Very imaginative & the tiny rhinestones called attention to this treatment. TFS & Happy New Year. Hugs
ReplyDeleteCute little bears. This really is a sweet card, Carol.
