Vintage Christmas

I had this card half made so just had to finish it off. I'm not sure whether I'm entirely happy with it. I love the papers, ribbon and embellishments but maybe I should have put it together differently. I've added kindyglitz to Santa's wreath and red crystals to the holly berries.
This isn't a card but is to be framed and put with my Christmas decorations. The image is from the Graphic 45 Christmas Past range and I've just layered gold kromecote, black and a designer paper onto cream cardstock to make an A4 size picture. I added crystalina kindyglitz to the snow falling around Santa and red crystals to the holly berries.

Thanks for visiting.

Christmas Past

Yep, more Christmas cards. I actually love making Christmas cards and always, always leave it to the last minute to do them. Every year I'm determined not to do that but it always happens.
Yesterday (Monday) was spent with a friend of mine who came down to help me tidy my craft room. I had moved all my sewing and cross stitch items into the spare room cupboards and so had that part of the work done. Thank goodness. It took the whole day but I can now see the floor (because all the stash is in the cupboards now), have tidy and neat shelves and I know where things are.

On Friday and Saturday I managed to make these cards while out crafting both days. lol
All four have been 'cased' from a lady called Debbie Olson, a very clever lady who did a series of Graphic 45 cards, part one and part two. I would wholeheartedly like to thank her for making these cards because I just love them. I did try to make them a little different but that was difficult because I loved the originals so much.
The photos have picked up the light on the Swarovski Rhinestones that I used, well I hope so anyway. My Bow Easy was used and the ribbon used on the bottom cards is gorgeous silk ribbon. I can't put the link to the silk ribbon on here but I can email it to you.
Hope you like these cards çause I have more of them to do yet. lol
Thanks for looking and all your wonderful comments that I know take time to leave. Very much appreciated.
