Christmas Time

By
Over on the 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown Gill is having a whale of a time choosing our themes. This week the theme is -


And here is my card - taken very literally!


I must say that this took absolutely ages to do as I stamped each individual letter with the Back to Basics Alphabet set! I then just added a few random images from some retired sets. Have a great time looking at the other cards from the dt and have a great weekend xx

    * thud * I can't believe you stamped all that individually letter by letter Jacqueline, you have the patience of a saint! It was so worth it though - a great take on the challenge theme!
    Have a great weekend! Ruth x

    Oh my word Jacqueline! Ruth is right - you have the patience of a saint to stamp each of those letters individually! It's amazing! I love all the Christmas images you've used too. This is just the sort of card that my mum would have loved - thank you so much for your interpretation of my challenge. Big hugs, Gill xx

    It may have taken ages, but I think it's absolutely brilliant. I love the way you used burgundy for the second line. This is absolutely perfect for the challenge - love it!

    You've definitely captured the theme here by using the song lyrics as the focus of your design! Well done!

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. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr
