Christmas Card Club Challenge #11 - Mistletoe and Wine

 Hi Crafters,

It's Rita's turn to choose our theme this fortnight and she has chosen 

MISTLETOE & WINE

 

After scratching my head trying to think of what I could come up with I came across these images from a Hunkydory kit that fitted perfectly - a few layers, some gingham ribbon and a peel-off border - job done!

Challenges I'd like to enter:

Pop over to the other ladies blogs and see what they have made on this theme, there is sure to be a variety of styles and fabulous cards. The links to their blogs are in  my sidebar under the Christmas Card Club tab.

Enjoy your Sunday, after a busy two days at my monthly Farmers and Craft events on Friday & Saturday I'm putting my feet up!

See you soon,

Lorraine
