Christmas Card Club # 23 Snowmen

Good morning. Well it's time for the members of our little Christmas Card Club to produce another card to add to our collection.  We are just a friendly little group and our aim is to make Christmas cards all year round and lessen the mad panic in November when you realise you still have masses of cards to make! One of us chooses the theme every two weeks and this time Lorraine chose "Snowmen."  I originally made a card with just one snowman and then remembered an image I have had for a long time but never used before so I made another card to show today and I will post the other one in a few days.

My Card


Ingredients
6" x 6" card base
Background papers -  LOTV Snow Princess + Solids pack
Pink pearlescent paper from stash
Image - Cuddly Buddly
Snowflake - Spellbinders Create a Flake 5
Border - Martha Stewart
Pearls from Stash
Red stickles on all the berries
A wee bit of glitter on the snow kids hats

This card came together practically without me knowing it.  I wanted to use these LOTV pads but  they didn't really fit my original card.  When I came across this digi image in my file I knew that I had to use it - just because of the papers I could use with it! The snowflake is die cut from glitter card but doesn't really show up.

Last night we went, with friends,  to a performance of "The Pirates of Penzance" by the Banbury Operatic Society. (Our nearest town.)  It really was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed it. It was actually the Broadway version and so had a couple of new songs in it.  It is years since I have seen this and it was great.  Mind you, I have been singing ever since - just before Sue P makes the comment! Lol!

Beautiful sunshine this morning so have a great weekend folks!

  13. Hi Christine
    The image you have used is delightful and matches your papers beautifully.
    So, you'll "have information on vegetable, animal and mineral" then, if I haven't mixed up my Gilbert and Sullivan lol!
    Will drop you a line tomorrow to see about whether you want to park at the Harvester and bus in on Thursday.
    Best wishes.
