Allsorts Challenge #705 - It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas

 Hi Crafters,

Well we are in to December already and as the title suggests...

It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas

...so that is our theme this week at Allsorts and I have created an easel, shaker card.

These are my favourite style of card to make, I love a kinetic card and the added bonus of a different fold also appeals.



The design is a download from CraftsUprint but I have cut out the centre part of the frame and created a shaker. There were lots of tiny elements to this design which took a lot of fussy cutting but I think the end result was worth it.

We have 2 prizes this week of Card-io stamp sets for 2 lucky winners.

To be in with a chance at the prizes just follow the theme, link up to our blog with your new project. There is a full explanation of the rules on the challenge blog HERE.

I am at a craft fair today and have two more Christmas fairs in a couple of weeks time, then I can relax and start my Christmas preparations at home. Christmas card sales have been very good which is a surprise as I thought the increase in postage coupled with the strikes this year would put folks off. Needless to say I haven't finished my own Christmas cards yet to send out so there'll be no slacking in my craft room just yet.

See you soon,

Lorraine
