All I Want For Christmas.....Is You!

If you're a regular visitor to my blog, you will know I love making Christmas cards. I always look to see what DT themes will fit a Christmas card lol.....you can never have enough of them I say! Also with donating them to Gentleshaw, they have a winter fair thing, so they always need lots.

Anyhoos today's creation is for a new month starting over at Natalie & Amy's challenge blog. Don't forget if you entered last month to check back & see if you're a winner!!!
This month the theme is....

THINGS WITH WINGS!

now it can't be an added little butterfly or dragonfly, must be a part of the main image. We have a £15 voucher up for grabs, so make sure you pop over & enter....

I decided to use a really old Humphrey stamp, that I absolutely love!


Aren't they soooo sweet?
I ended up decoupaging Miss Lumpy as I didn't stamp her out properly the first time, so stamped her out again, fussy cut & popped on top lol...sorted!

  8. Oh, my goodness! How cute is that stamp??!! The girl looks so fabulous decoupaged like that and what a great way to fix a less than perfect stamping job. I'll have to keep that in mind for my next mishap. Thanks for playing with CSAYL.
