Baby it's cold outside (Art by Miran image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

It's seems quite funny creating this card in a wintry look seeing as we are sweltering today in well over 30 degrees in Melbourne, Australia! It's going to be 37 degrees tomorrow for Christmas day, Yukkk!! I hope some of you have better weather, I know USA is getting some freezing conditions, can't we all just have a happy medium hehe???

I used a gorgeous image I've been busting to colour for ages, isn't she divine? You can find her at Art by Miran

Well, that's it from me, I hope you all have a fantastic Christmas tomorrow and stay safe & healthy for the New Year!

My brother-in-law is the Elf haha! (Jellypark image)

I have had for years some store-bought Christmas cards that you slot a photo of your family into. I thought it was about time I used these as they are a great idea for something different. But apparently my new brother-in-law was asking where the homemade card was and wasn't pleased with my photo card, even turned it around so our photo was facing the wall haha! So I have made him his very own Christmas card and will be giving it to him tonight, I hope this shuts him up hehe! The image was from Jellypark who are no longer around.
