Morning readers,
I've a make to share with you today ....... I thought I was done with Christmas cards. Stood at my ToC (Table of Craftiness) and not one, but a whole batch of Christmas cards rocked up, well, three anyway!! How does that even happen? Guess I must be FULL of the Christmas spirit! I was rummaging and just happened across this fab "half a tree" image from Rubbernecker and the rest, as they say, is history ......

I'm excited, I jumped on the Country View Crafts advent calendar bandwagon yesterday .... it was Katzelkraft! Now I have a selection of goodies on order (what can I say? I made FREE P&P!) and can't wait for them to arrive, I HOPE it's before Christmas - I might just wrap it and pop it under the tree as a Christmas present .... from me to ME!
AND I was picked as a lucky winner in the November watercolour challenge and a fave in the November Christmas challenge over at Happy Llittle Stampers - YAY! Thanks so much peeps

These are really lovely CAS christmascards. What a great idea, stamping the tree at the edge of the card.

Congrats on your HLS win & recognition.
Love your half a tree Christmas cards. Xxx
This is a fun tree image Kathy and pretty in the green with the red layer behind, and a great batch make. Congratulations on your Win and Top 3 over at Happy Little Stampers. x
Such a cute tree image, Kathy - I love the design of your fun trio! Great job getting the envelopes in on the action, too - no naked envelopes! You watch, you'll end up needing these! Thanks so much for playing at Make My Monday AND Retro Rubber!
Great CAS card, Kathy. The half a tree design is very effective.
Looking forward to seeing what you make with your new crafty purchases when they arrive. xx
