SANTA IS COMING

Good morning dear craft loving followers and visitors.
THANK YOU for all your lovely comments and good wishes.
I just love being part of this wonderful,  caring, craft community.
Everyone is soooooooo caring and helpful.

I thought for a moment I had lost my mojo, but it soon came
flooding back, thank goodness.
Well I have a confession to make I have only made family
Christmas cards this year.
For the rest of my  friends I bought them.
Oops I've used the B word. lol.


My card today is one I made last night.

Click on the photo to enlarge the picture.

Now the inside.


This is an 8x8 card size.
Matted with red card and Dovecraft Christmas Papers.
The Santa is coming image is fro m Pink Gems Digi Images.
I used the smallest Grand Decorative Circle and the smallest
Grand Plain Circle inside that.
The corners are Marianne Die.
The ribbons were from Tesco.
Thank you again for your visit and comments.
Everyone means a great deal to me.
I hope you all have a wonderful crafty Monday if time allows.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.

Good Morning Jenny, Love this beautiful card, everything is just perfect.
I got a stunning card yesterday which I really love............!!!
I have felt the difference this year not "sending" so many cards.
A few still in the making but they will be delivered so no pressure.
Have a Fantastic Day

Morning Jenny, Like you, I only make the family and neighbour cards, and buy the rest. This year I have made the family ones, but found 2 Anna Griffin kits I had bought a few years ago and never got around to, so I am in the process of putting those together (they may be finished for next year ha ha).
Your Christmas card is beautiful, love everything about it and the colours are beautiful.
I spent yesterday afternoon making my Great Grandson's 6th birthday card, his birthday is the 16th, and like you, I sat there in my craft room thinking what on earth can I make, so I ploughed through my Cuttlebug children's dies and did a card for the pirate ship and had some chipboard letters which I used for his name, I much prefer girlie cards, when it comes to boys my mojo goes ha ha.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
