Unbelievably another two weeks have passed and it is time for another Christmas card. This time it is Kerry's turn and she has asked that we use baubles on our cards. This is quite simple Kerry but I hope you think it does your challenge justice. It's probably going to be Monday before I get round to checking the rest of the CCC cards and the rest of my friends' blogs.
My Card

My card is 6" x 6" and matted with red. I ran more white card through an Anna Griffin embossing folder from Cuttlebug called "Matelasse" and it also comes with a border embossing folder. The baubles are die cut from Memory Box "Classic Ornament" and "Snowflake Ornament", and the corner die is another Memory Box die called, appropriately, "Snowflake Corner." I have been trying to keep my cards flat to enable cheaper postage this year, as I'm sure most of us are. Once I had added the picture I could see that I had used a different card to cut the top bauble and it is a different shade of white. I have now replaced it but haven't had chance to re-take the photo. I am also not happy with the stamped sentiment so I think on Monday I shall probably replace it (yet again!), but I really do not have time at the moment.
Well I hope you all have a really great day.
Love and hugs from Christine xx

Christine, you will be on your way by now, so I have sent you lots of good lucks through the air. I admire you for doing your bike ride, not something I would undertake to do. So here's hoping the weather is kind to you and I look forward to hearing how it went.
