1st Christmas Card xxx

Here is my first Christmas card. I am determined to use all my unused stamps that I have bought over the last couple of years for Christmas cards. They were all "must haves" at the time!!! I always play safe and get out my Christmas stamps that I find make quick and easy cards, but that is not happening this year. I am going to be organised and not have a big rush on the run up to Christmas.

I stamped lots of Christmas images to colour while I was on holiday, either when travelling or relaxing. I coloured about 10 which I didn't think was bad.

Anyhow, here is my first card using one of the images I coloured. I am trying to go a bit vintage/shabby and traditional this year.



I have used a selection of Nitwit papers mixed with some Dovecraft "Let it Snow" papers. I am going to try and mix & match some of my papers.



I have coloured my old traditional Santa from Magnolia with Promarkers. The sentiment is stamped from a lovely set I bought last year and never used by Papermania which is a Tina Higgins design called "A Silent Night".

I hope you like, but I am now off to enjoy the rest of my Sunday before work tomorrow and I am also going to think of some more ideas for cards as my Sister went with me and Mum to the craft shop today and she purchased some papers/card templates for her own cards that she wants me to make for her for Christmas. I now have to make my own, Mum's, Sam's and cards for orders!!! I need to be organised with this lot! Oh well, it's keeps me busy!

Love,
