Christmas on a sunny day

Wow, the sun is shining here and it's a glorious day :) But, I suddenly remembered I hadn't made a card for Craftyhazelnuts Christmas Card Challenge - which this week is to use buttons. A quick bit of rustling up and I hope one single button qualifies OK Hazel - it is a BIG one!!

As luck would have it, I decided to blitz my desk today before there was a total avalanche and a few things just screamed out to be used together :)

I used:

- C5 white card stock

- a quirky Santa sticker from Irene, made by PSX from the Christmas Follies set. Very similar to Penny Black Stickaroos and a happy and smiley set too - thanks again Irene!

- papers from Hot off the Press Forever Christmas cards paper stack, along with the little sentiments which were included

- red backing card from the snippets folder

- red velvet rick rack and red felt flowers (thank you Helena!), button from the button box as well as some bakers twine

- Josy Rose nail heads

Whoosh - done in time to catch Hazel's challenge! And, don't forget that Sunday is Rudolph Day over at Sandra's - and if you haven't come to play in the playground this week you could always combine a snippets card with Christmas over at Sandra's next week. Maybe there'll be a few Christmassy snippets flying round :)

  10. Hi Di

    A fabby Christmas card .. .. though Santa does look a little like he might need a diet.

    He must still be working off all those calories from the mincepies and sherry a few weeks ago!!! LOL!!!

    See you in the playground tomorrow.

    Love Jules xx
