Morning all,
Christmas meal with friends last evening, we were at the Sally Pussey Inn in Royal Wootton Bassett, fab company and a great evening .. food wasn't half bad either!
Another batch and, yes, they ARE Christmas cards ... at this rate I'll have enough for 2017! Using the MISTI it's almost easier to make batches than singles! That and the fact I have FINALLY obtained this gorgeous Santa image - well, what's a girl to do? Would you believe that I now have 25 towards 2017?!?!?!?

Lovely card, thanks for playing along with the sisterhood of snarky stampers!
Beautiful batch cards, Kathy! I'm hoping to do the same in 2017, now that I've figured out how to use the MISTI without the magnets - color me happy!! It really makes making multiples (say that three times fast!) a breeze! Wishing you a Happy Christmas and blessed New Year!! Holiday Hugs, Darnell
A beautiful batch of cards Kathy, I love the gorgeous Santa you've used. Happy Christmas.
