Hi all... sorry I haven't posted for ages. We've been having a major clearout at home and a few repairs done. We're hoping to have a new fitted kitchen in the New Year... can't wait as the one we have at the moment is from another era... errr... maybe even biblical times?!! Lol
Anyway, I've finally managed to photograph some of my Christmas Cards and upload them.... here's one I made using my gorgeous new Stampendous Train Postcard Stamp! I couldn't get a decent photo of this card... tried it with flash, lamp and nothing seemed to help? it looks much nicer in real life!
Image: Stampendous Train Postcard Stamp
Papers: Craftwork Cards - Magic of Christmas
Sentiment: Hobbycraft
Border: Tonic Studio Punch - Vine
Mark Richards - White Glitter Domes
Wooden Snowflakes
I really enjoyed colouring this image... all done with Copics even the Postcard bit... just wish that the sparkle on the snow showed up in the photograph!
I hope you are all doing ok and nearly ready for Christmas? I've finished all my shopping apart from food which we are having delivered next week... most of the presents are wrapped... just a couple of last minute ones to do.
Huge hugs to those who are unwell or going through difficult time at the moment... I really hope things improve for you soon.
I will be back soon with another Christmas card... and think Santa himself might put in appearance! ;-)
Just realised I haven't got Christmas Countdown on my blog? Will have to try and find one...
Love and hugs

This stamp is on my wanted list Sue, and having seen your gorgeous card it is moving higher!! Fabulous card and the colouring is great. How exciting to be getting a new kitchen! I remember when we replaced ours and it was fabulous checking out designs and different wood finishes and placement of everything! Oh you will have fun. Mind you, I don't envy the time you will be without the services you need, but it won't be for long. Have a super Christmas if you don't get back before then. Hugs Christine xx

Hi Sue - oh wow I love this gorgeous traditional card - think I might have to add that image to my never-ending wish list but put it at the top as it is stunning!!!!
Sorry I have been such a bad blogger lately - but hopefully things are settling down now and I am back on track.
Sounds like you are busy too - and will be with your new fitted kitchen - but how exciting.
Can't wait for the Downton and Strictly Christmas Specials - will be watching whilst enjoying a break at Centre Parcs with John, Jack and my MiL.
Thank you so much for my gorgeous card - I love it and it's really appreciated.
Hope you have a wonderful stress-free Christmas and a Happy Healthy New Year.
