Its time for a new challenge over at My Time To Craft. Its getting so close to Christmas I'm getting scared lol....I always panic I'm gonna run out of time, but this year wow time is going so quickly! I think next year I'm just gonna keep making Christmas cards all through the year, instead of doing one here & there & leaving it until about June to start Christmas card making properly!! Not good this year, I need lots more cards making. Anyhoos here's another one for my box.
