Merry Christmas

Good morning all.

Hope you've enjoyed your weekend...we've had a quiet one, a bit of football on Saturday (watching not playing!) and a lazy day yesterday. Some time spent helping eldest prepare for his upcoming trip to Iceland which is just over three weeks away now!

A clean and simple Christmas card to share today.


I masked off the top of the card base and stamped snowflakes with versamark and heat embossed with white detail EP, then inked with DI. Sentiment was also heat embossed. Stamps are from STAMPlorations. Snowflake die from Spellbinders, gems from my stash.

Challenges entered:
Happy Little Stampers CAS Challenge - die cuts and punches
Happy Little Stampers Sketch Challenge
Sweet Stampin' - clean and simple
Crimbo Crackers - die cuts
Addicted to Stamps and more - CAS
Holly Jolly - clean and simple

    Love your embossed and inky background for your CAS Christmas card Carol.
    Your son must be excited about his upcoming trip?
    I'd love to visit there but don't know whether I'd like the cold.

    Happy crafting, hugs Erika. x

    Carol, I do believe we have some spirits that lurk around, and grab things & hide. I can't possibly be that scatterbrained! I'm glad it happens to other people besides just me. My extreme mess is probably the cause of some of it. Hugs.
