 Hi Crafters,

I'm sharing another Christmas card make with you today for the new challenge at our friendly Christmas Card Club.

This week our theme was

SANTA


Above is a lovely image from Hunkydory and sentiment die is from Poppy Crafts. (I'm still trying to use up my Peel-offs too)
Below is an adorable image which I couldn't resist buying from CraftsUprint, I just love his jolly face.


I have layered the image with foam tape and added some glitter to his beard and to the snowflakes for a simple card design.

Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit....

 Hi Crafters,

...that's what we always said as children when the first of the month came around in the hopes of a little luck that month. Did you remember to say it this morning? I never liked the 'Pinch, Punch first of the month' saying - at school I'm sure that the boys (and some girls) used this to justify being spiteful to other classmates. Do you have a saying in your part of the world when the first of the month comes around?

Anyway, I've waffled on long enough, it's time to share my DT card for the new challenge starting at

Crafts Galore Encore
