Morning readers,
I've a make to share with you today ....... now we're in September I find myself trying to push on with Christmas cards - to ensure I have enough when it comes time to start writing them! One year I was still making them at the week before Christmas, trying to get the last few out before the last posting dates - I vowed "Never again"!!! I recently acquired this fab set and could hardly wait to mask up this fab little chimney and Santa Claus - gotta love a card with humour!

Fun Christmas card! CAS too! Works for me! Xxx
Love it! Now I’ve promised myself not to buy any more Christmas stamps as I have more than enough, and a lot unused, but I’m sorely tempted. Can you have too many? 😁
I love this clean card that draws your eye to Santa (who blew his trip down the chimney). The red mat looks great.
This is a really fun image and love the sparkly snow on the chimney and great colouring and finished perfectly with that very apt sentiment. A delightful Christmas make. I am trying to do better with my Christmas cards as most years I am well behind with creating them. x
Brilliant CAS card, Kathy. I love the fun design. xx
Love this design Kathy - it's great fun and brilliantly executed with the glitter and gloss details.

That is going to tickle someone's funny bone, Kathy! It sure did mine, especially with that sediment. Santa Claus is falling down is more like it, lol! Love the schparkle, too! Thank you for inspiring everyone at NBUS and good job getting those Christmas cards made! Hugs, Darnell
Such a fun Christmas card, Kathy! Thanks for playing with us at Time Out.
This card is just so wonderful! Love it! Thanks for joining ATSM! Hugs Åsa
A super cute CAS Christmas card. The touches of glitter finish it off perfectly.
Thank you for joining in with the Crafts Galore Encore September Challenge “Anything Goes”. Good luck x
