A Christmas Card

By

 It’s a long time till Christmas 2026 but crafters usually like to be prepared and have a lovely stash of cards ready for the festive season.

Last year I wasn’t prepared and shock horror I had to buy some cards and I don’t want it to happen again.

Therefore I have rooted out my Christmas stamps and made my first Christmas card of the year.



I used a sketch from a challenge blog that I set up a very long time ago. I had to leave it a while ago but it's lovely to see that it's still going strong and it's my go to site for theme, sketch and colour challenges for Christmas. Here is their current sketch challenge that I used for my card.

Here we have a very excited trio of woofers out in the forest on their walkies! I used Stampin' Up sets for this card: Trees For Sale, Campology and Grassy Grove. Don't forget to pop over and take a look at all the other fab cards from the DT and leave some love. J 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. 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...
