Merry Little Christmas Card

Hi everyone!

A warm welcome to Blogmas day 5.

It is absolutely freezing outside and I had to stick an extra heater on in my shed tonight to warm the place up 😀 however the cold spell is due to go away mid week as the jet stream sits above the UK bringing warm air up from the nether regions 😉

I have a wee christmas card to share today, I am using my favourite patterned paper and also a new Snowflake Die Set.

supplies list:-

• First Edition Christmas Promise 6×6 Patterned paper stack
• Clearly Besotted Merry Christmas stamp
• Tim Holtz Snowflake Die Set
• Versafine Onyx Black Ink
• Stampin Up Dimensional Adhesive

I’m thinking i might just make this my Christmas card for the neighbours this year, I will see how many I can make this weekend 😉

As always, thanks for popping round and I will see you all tomorrow

A huge thank you to Mairi and Faye for looking after me it was a lovely day and great to see so many like minded crafty ladies and youngsters.

First of all I would like to thank Elizabeth for driving over to see me at the demo… Elizabeth and I have been online crafty friends for well over four years but had never met!  well we finally got to meet and give each other a big hug yesterday .. You can find Elizabeth and all her gorgeous crafty goodies over here on her blog:
