Christmas Card Club Challenge #18 - Lots of Layers

 Hi Crafters,

I'm just stepping off of the naughty step long enough to post this card for the Christmas Card Club and stepping right back on it again!

The reason for my naughty step sentence is that it was MY challenge and with everything that has been going on lately I completely forgot!

I have been juggling too many plates for too long and need to take a serious look at where all my time goes. I manage two monthly farmers market/craft fairs and the admin for these has gone berserk since lockdown has eased and everyone - I mean EVERYONE wants a space there. I enjoy doing it but just keeping up with emails and messages alone has taken up so much time. Both of these were on Friday and Saturday and so last week my focus was on these events and nothing else. I have some other things coming up over the next three weeks that need my attention too so although I have some scheduled posts here during this time I will not be around much - no difference there I hear you say :0)

Anyway, apologies to my teammates for my tardy post but here is my 'Lots of Layers' card.


Created with a Craft Creations Decoupage image and a sweet little banner die that I purchased from eBay this card is destined for a customer who placed her order early. There are lots of layers in the decoupage and several layers of patterned papers too.
Please take a look at the other creations that the rest of the Christmas Card Club have made, their links are in my sidebar.

With that I shall bid you farewell, the step is calling :0/

A pretty Christmas card Lorraine, a lovely decoupage image.
It sounds like you are being kept rather busy at the moment, take care and don't forget to make some time for yourself.

I think I'm glued to the naughty step as got my dates all wrong so haven't made your challenge yet or anywhere near it. I love your card and I'm glad I'm not alone on being out of sink! Zoe x
