I love Christmas


This is a short post as I have to get ready for work…oh how I love Mondays …not…why does the weekend always go so quickly? 
I'm still well into Christmas card making although this week I think I really should  do something different, but I do love christmas; the problem is I spend so much time blog hopping and looking at great sites with amazing card and crafting ideas that I get overwhelmed as to what to try out next; also I'm getting addicted to Pintrest…so this week the plan is less time on the PC and more in the craft room. This is another card using the Molly Bloom stamp, I do like this stamp set as you may have guessed; this time I've went with a green and red colour scheme using the great freebies I've got from magazines in recent weeks. (I've so many to choose from now I don’t think I’ll ever use them all and deciding on what to use is becoming harder!) I'm happy with this card although I am a bit dissapointed with the inside  as when it dried the glue has left some dark shadows,not sure why as it hasn't happened before; I may need to add a snowflake or something and some ribbon to cover it !
I now have an almost finished Santa Claus card and two small completed cards that I will post when I get the opportunity to later in the week, again the weekend has gone so quickly and not enough time for everything I wanted  but you cant have everything,I hope everyone has a good week...x
