Singing those Christmas Carols!

Hello all and I hope that you've had a good start to the week?  A busy one for us - and I keep telling myself that when we've finished it'll all be worth it - but have to admit that decorating is not my favourite thing!  I love the end result, with a fresh clean feel, lots of clearing out done, etc., but it's just all the hard work and upheaval in between!
A very warm welcome to my new follower - I can't believe that I've reached the 200 followers mark! I'm so delighted!  So a huge thank you to you all for putting up with my waffling!
A little bit of sad news is that I made the difficult decision to step down from the Polkadoodles Design Team. I've had a fabulous time with the DT and working with Nikky Hall's fantastic crafty goodies over the last 9 or so months, but I'm struggling with time commitments at the moment (my work days having gone from 2 days a week to 5 days a week), not to mention the health niggles and problems I've had lately, so I decided that I really needed to scale back on the DT work a bit. Hopefully this will give my Mojo time to recover a bit and I can relax a little instead of stressing about getting projects done. But a big thank you to Nikky and the DT for having me!

Anyway, this evening's post has a gorgeous digi "ragged carollers" that I got a while ago from Mo's and hadn't coloured up!


I've coloured the image with a mix of copics, promarkers and Graph-its, with a little added pencil!


The red backing paper was a freebie with a magazine, and the other paper is from LOTV. I've added lots of die cuts (as usual!) - the holly corner is from Cheery Lynn, the tree is from Memory Box and the holly leaves are using Joanna Sheen's signature dies. The roses are from WOC, with a touch (or more!) of glossy accents and glamour dust.  The sentiment stamp is from LOTV. 


Another one to add to the Christmas Card Box! 
Hope you like it! 
Back soon,
Kim x
