Cute Card Thursday ~ Challenge 13

Challenge 13 is "Xmas Cards". Well this weeks Cute Card Thursday challenge made me think, not for long mind, cos I've been itching to use my RR "Kiss Me You Fool" stamp and with it only being June I've really not had chance to play!

I got up nice and early this morning, with only a few chores to do cos I'd done most of them yesterday once Rylee had gone home. So, it was just the breakfast pots and hanging the washing out and then a whole day of undisturbed crafting....bliss!! Ellie had gone off this morning to Silverstone, under strict instructions to be careful, drive safely (its her first long journey) and to ring us, not text as soon as she got there! I needed to take my mind off Ellie on her travels and to enjoy my Rylee-free time. Well, I achieved loads. I made 8 cards!!! My first 2 cards were specifically for the CCT challenge....


This was my first and was made using Friday Sketchers #4. CS ~The Papermill Shop, PP ~ Ho ho ho freebie paper downloaded from net (i'll try and find it again and get back), snowflake paper ~ Pink Petticoat, image ~ Rubber Romance, coloured with H2O's, Fluffy stuff on hat and Stickles on the mistletoe, brads from stash.

This is the second one I did and I prefer this one to the first. The papers are from the same place (still not found), CS ~ Papermill, flowers ~ stash, gems ~ pearl beads courtesy of my mum's friend, image ~ RR and sentiment done on the PC which is actually the name of the stamp. The sketch is one of Katharina's, I just love her sketches and made most of my cards using them today!

So, I now have my first 2 Christmas cards made!
