I am not looking forward to a 6 hour drive tomorrow down to the South coast and am hoping that this bad weather eases a little before we leave.
I have spent this morning doing a little shabby card making - which I will show at some point but as we're still in December here's another Christmas offering
I have had this paper pack for a long time - it was one that I wanted and this is only the second time I have used anything from it. (Typical........)
All over snowflake embossing folder used on two pieces of card. Larger piece matted onto dark pink then base card, smaller embossed piece cut out with a nestie and I ran some Tattered Rose and Spun Sugar DI round the edges.
Aforementioned never before used paper simply cut into 3 tree shapes and stuck onto circle piece with 3d glue.
Added some blingy gems to each tree.
Finished with a double shimmery organza bow - one pink ribbon and the other white.
Sentiment from SU.

The doc is out in all this weather driving up and down to Derby. He should be back home in a couple of hours. We have high winds here in the south but thankfully no rain. I think the north (direction Doc was going in) have had it the worst. I've spent today printing off the inserts for all my cards and then making envelopes for the non standard sizes. It has kept me busy but I'm browned off now so come to do some commenting instead. Love this card and your free hand trees are gorgeous. Who needs die cuts.! lol. Hope your journey is safe tomorrow. hugs Mrs A.
Beautiful. Thanks for playing along with us at The Craft Garden this month.
You and I could be related! I love the same things you do. Crafting, genealogy and football. I love your very textured pink card too ! Non traditional colors are so stunning on a Christmas card. Thanks for joining us at the Mod Squad this week. Good luck! Hope to see you here again.
So beautifully pink and feminine. Lovely papers and embossing folders used.
Hi Viv

Drive safely tomorrow

Coming to the South Coast was a better idea than staying in your windy spot I reckon . . . it was okay down here!
