Good morning all.
I managed to tackle the ironing mountain yesterday....a mammoth task which had to be done in three parts as my back just couldn't stand up to it. I really need to make a resolution to do it more often in smaller batches in future! Hoping to get the cards written today and get them in the post this week, then it's onto the Christmas cleaning...urgggh.

Another new month and December already, so it must be time for a new challenge at Eclectic Ellapu! The Pink Team were set the challenge of "The 12 Days of Christmas" by Asha. This challenge will last for two months and our next new challenge will begin on the 1st February next year.
I've had these images on my computer for several years from my days as a Cub leader. I printed them out on sticky back canvas. Dies used are from Spellbinders.
Do pop over to the challenge blog to see the inspiration from the rest of the team, you won't be disappointed. Alternatively the purple team have a challenge of "Cards to Die For" (so use your dies).

I think this is a wonderful card. I like the center block with the verse...looks great with all of the 12 days photos...
ReplyDeletePS I sit to iron. I drop the ironing board a wee bit lower and iron while I watch a movie on TV..Otherwise I can not cope with my back either...
