Full of Christmas Cheer yet?

Hello all and I hope that you've had a good week? I can't believe how fast the days are going at the moment. Do you think it's because we're heading towards the end of the year that it's like rolling downhill lol? Had a Christmas lunch at work yesterday - which was lovely - but then was so full I just felt like having a snooze for the rest of the afternoon!  Today at work is 'Christmas Jumper' day in aid of Save the Children. I confess that I couldn't justify buying a Christmas jumper to wear just for a day - so will have to make do with tinsel, a flashing badge & an Elf hat (complete with pointy ears) - and No, I'm not taking pics!

And with the festive season just about upon us, it's time for the last challenge of the year over at CraftyCatz as all the DT take a little break to recharge crafting batteries. We'll be back in the new year with some fantastic new challenges and sponsors!  But in the meantime our lovely Team Leader Carol (knowing how busy we all are just now) has given us everyone's favourite challenge 'Anything Goes'!

I've used a gorgeous stamp from LOTV


I've coloured this with a mix of copics and promarkers, with some added glamour dust of course (not sure what my Christmas cards would be like without some sparkle....)
The backing papers are from LOTV, and I've added a Spellbinders poinsettia. The little tag is also from LOTV


I must give the recipes on these stamps a try and see if they actually work! 
Hope you like (yet another) Christmas card from me! 
And don't forget to check out the fabulous creations from the DT over at CraftyCatz! 
Back soon,
Kim x 

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:-
CraftyLittleFairies - let it snow
DelightfulChallenges - red & green
PaperCraftingJourney - it's Christmas time
Sisterhood of Crafters - Christmas sparkle

  3. Such a cute holiday card Kim. I love that sweet little boy carrying the tree and your colouring and layout are fab. I also like how you 'stage' your photos... good job on that and it really does make a difference in the presentation so I'm thinking I should give it a go too.
