Christmas Card Club "Christmas Scene"

Good afternoon all.

Running late today after partying yesterday...my brother in law had a 50th birthday cum housewarming party, James Bond themed with a casino at night. A hog roast to eat, a menu of cocktails, some great fancy dress costumes made it a recipe for a good time...the boys definitely enjoyed themselves! Eldest ended up the biggest winner of the evening at the casino with £420,000, this was after been bankrupt five times though!!

Anyway another two weeks have flown past and it's time once again for us Christmas Card Club girls to strut our stuff and this time Kate has given us a theme of "Christmas Scene". I de-camped to the craft room this afternoon and my mind went blank...I hunted through all my Christmas stuff and nothing appealed. Then I had a eureka moment and thought of Thomas Kinkade...the rest as they say is history!



Using Joanna Sheen's Thomas Kinkade CD I printed off four images, which were then die cut using my new favourite die from Wplus9 and matted direct to the card base. Sentiment is from Clearly Besotted, stamped with versamark and heat embossed with white detail EP. Cards were finished with a little stickles. A very easy way to add four cards to the Christmas box all perfect for posting.
