Snow In Love! CCC Challenge

Hi everybody.  I'm sorry I have been such a bad blogger for the past couple of weeks.  For some reason I just haven't had any motivation.  Hopefully now I have made this card I will be okay again.  Yesterday morning I went to the Paper Craft Fair at the National Motorcyle museum near the NEC.  They are held about four times a year. Obviously fairly small ( 32 exhibitors yesterday) so not worth travelling great distances, but at £2 entry fee (for seniors! Lol!) and free parking it is great value.

Open to show acetate aperture

It is time for the Christmas Card Challenge again. Am I sure? Surely it hasn't been two whole weeks!!! The time is really shooting by. But I digress, as so often is the case! Today it is Sue J's turn to choose (aka Ollie's Mam ) and she has asked us to make a card using a snowman. This isn't the card I had planned but I left it too late to do the one I wanted. If I get chance I will do that one in a day or so.

I printed an image from my Card Factory Deluxe programme and put it into the inside of the card. I then die cut a square aperture from the front using SB Classic Squares Large  and added some Snowstorm Acetate which I have had and not used. I added red poinsettias in the corners with leaves from the Leaf Flourish Strip, which I think is Cheery Lynn. I had also die cut a frame from SB Lacy Squares but then glued on the leaves before remembering about the frame. What am I like? ( I can still hear my mum saying that!) Oh well, it doesn't look too bad without it. I stamped the snowflakes around the borders from Hero Arts "Fluttering Snowflakes" with Versamark and embossed with WOW Opaque Bright White embossing powder. The "Let It Snow" wording is a Brittania die.

Yesterday was quite a nice day and today is lovely - warm and quite sunny. There was a very short shower earlier but that was it. Hope you are all enjoying the same weather. Please enjoy what's left of the weekend.

    Hi Christine
    Gorgeous festive card. Love it!
    I keep meaning to go the papercraft shows as the Motorcycle Museum is only about 20 mins drive and my local craft shop have a stall there but I forgot this one, doh! Will have to wait for the NEC.
    Good luck with the challenges.
