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
Sweet Stampin' - clean and simple
Crimbo Crackers - die cuts
Holly Jolly - clean and simple

  25. 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.
