Santa Boy card (Paper Nest Dolls image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas.

I have had this lovely Paper Nest Dolls boy image for a long time and not got around to creating with him until now but I think he is really sweet. I used some Liquid Pearl on his outfit and then got carried away dotting it all over the tree hehe. The papers are from Kaisercraft and I cut out the tree then slotted it behind the boy's sack.

Peekaboo Christmas Bear (Bugaboo image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. We had a very hot one here in Melbourne, Australia, it was 35 degrees and we still cooked a 6.5kg roast turkey with all the trimmings!!

I have had a bit of crafting time so have made a few cards to show over the coming week, the first ones are all Christmas ones so will be going in my stash for next year's card giving. 

This card was inspired by the cute image from Bugaboo, he looks like he's peeking around the corner so I just had to create the card this way. The gorgeous sentiment is by DigiStamp Boutique.

Christmas Girl on bench (Bugaboo image)

Hi Crafty friends,

This is my last card of the night and I always leave my favourite until last. I loved how the red snowflake background paper looked against the sparkly glitter paper. There is a black border around the card but very difficult to see in this photo. This is an all in one stamp - the girl on the bench with the Christmas tree - isn't it adorable? You can find it at Bugaboo. 

Well, that's it from me now except for the occasional extra Christmas card I might make if I find time. I am sure I'll blog before Christmas but if not I hope all my lovely followers (and visitors) have a wonderful and safe Christmas, enjoying some quality time with friends and/or family. Love to you all XOX
