Oh my goodness !! did you know that there are only 182 days left to Christmas !! better get a wiggle on if we're gonna be ready in time eh !! :-)
I must admit, it does feel a bit strange swatting off the mosquitos while writing up a Christmas post,,, being eaten alive I am ,,, but it is nice to have a boxful of cards ready and no last minute rush :-)
The theme for then next couple of weeks on the ABC Christmas Challenge is
'M' for Mail
(of course it must be Christmas too ,,, don't forget that bit ;-))
As you can see I made a card and coordinating envelope ,,, makes it that bit extra special :-)
I have used this Simon's Exclusive Layered Tree die so many times, one of my all time faves ,, so easy and so effective, great for mass production ! :-)
I used a Simon's Exclusive Postage Stamp Die to cut the paper and a falling stars stencil together with some embossing paste, coloured with distress ink and I added some glitter bead gel too ,,, lovely and sparkly IRL.
I must admit ,,, I quite like this one ,,,,,
Thanks for looking :-) I hope you will join in with the challenge ,,, the more the merrier and all that ;-)
Just noticed I have a few flowers that need dead heading ,,,, lol oops :-)
