Hi Crafters,
I'm here a little later than expected today, I was hoping to get this posted this morning but you know how it is - the best laid plans and all that...
Anyway, this is my card for our fortnightly Christmas Challenge which was set by Rachel this time.
A Winter Scene
I've used another Craft Creations decoupage sheet but instead of a clean and simple design which I've been creating of late I thought I'd go all out on this one.
It's an easel card too
...and hopefully you can see some the lovely sparkle in this photo. I've used glamour dust and glass glitter with my 3D Schnee from Anna Marie Designs.

I'm a day early with this card as I have another DT post for tomorrow but do pop over to my fellow teamies blogs to see their creations tomorrow - a list of their blogs can be found in the tab at the top of my blog.
We had a lovely start to the day here but we've just had heavy rain. I know the gardens could do with it but fingers crossed that it stays fine and settled for a few weeks longer.
See you tomorrow,
Lorraine
