Two cards and a few challenges..

I thought I would start by showing you my first Christmas card.. I blame Hazel (Dido) as she sent me some proper cute christmas images in a swap..and I just couldn't resist using them a bit early..I know some of you have already started you christmas cards but me, I usually leave it till end of October before I start with them...

I thought I would show you a close up so you can see the glittery snow...I have got some white applique stuff somewhere but can I blinkin find it....nope...its vanished...gone!!! will have to get some more..
This is for the challenge over at Magical Crafts whos sketch I have followed..

Back to my card ..

For those of you that have been reading my blog for a while now (I thank you) you will know that two years ago Nige broke his foot at work (fell of the bak of his wagon) numpty...but he had broken his other foot 15 years ago and while he was off work was when we got together so, this image just made me smile and think of him when we first got together...yes I'm a big softy really lol
