Christmas Chipboard

By
It's 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown time again and this week we want to see CHIPBOARD added to your Christmas cards


Here's my card


I've added some chipboard rounds to look like baubles along with some flourishes to look like the boughs of the Christmas tree. The round pieces have been heat embossed  with snowflake embossing powder - here's a close up


Please pop over to the blog and say 'hi' to my team mates - they have loads to show you too and I will see you soon - Jacqueline xx

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing.
