1st Christmas Card of 2016

I have shocked myself too, being this organised - it will never last! ....lol. That is all the Chrimbo decorations down and back up in the loft, hoovered and polished and back to normal for another year. the pussycats are looking at me disappointed as I have their playground away...lol ... Tough toot-toots I politely say...lol..

I got a lovely surprise this morning as I discovered I was randomly picked out the hat for a prize over at Sweet Stampin'- thank you, great start for the year.

I made this card by using part of a High Hopes Stamps (it has a Santa, Reindeer and a Snowman on it), as I have been using the reindeers for Reindeer poop, I am left with extra Santa's and Snowmen, so  I thought this sketch over at Sketch Saturday was a perfect opportunity to use some of them up.  The backing paper is from The English Paper Co.  Used a holly embossing folder and the sentiment is from stash.  The challenges covered are:-

• Crafty Hazelnuts Christmas Extra Monthly Challenge - Anything Christmas
• Crafts Galore Encore - Anything Goes
• Glitter 'n' Sparkle - Anything Goes
• Sketch Saturday - Sketch
