I've not been feeling very well today - a bit much chocolate yesterday perhaps!
I hope you soon feel better.

Hi Sue,
I'm still smiling from reading your comment on my blog, that was hilarious! Maybe they did an English version of Pippi as well, I'm not sure?! Good call to make a X-mas card on a day like this, it started off ok in the morning, but then it got all gloomy, nothing like yesterday with the beaming sun and one really could feel that Spring had arrived. Sweet Christmas card, hope you're feeling better soon! Hugz, Sandy

I like this sweet, pink Christmas card! It does have the right Christmas feel to it in spite of the non traditional choice of color. The die cut hollies, pearls and glitter pompon are such lovely details!

Sue said...

Your card is gorgeous Sue. I love the cute snowman (thank you for the link) the colours and details are gorgeous. I especially like the die cut holly leaves.
Sorry to hear that you are unwell, I hope you feel loads better soon.
Take care
