First Christmas card of 2013!

Good evening!
Well I went back to the gym for the first time in over 2 weeks today...ouch! Actually, I suppose it wasn't too bad! Glad I did it...it's kicked me back into eating properly too!

I did have a little time for some crafting too, and here's what I made tonight...

I have usually not stopped making Christmas cards as I sell so many over the stalls I do, but here is the first one for 2013. I was looking for some pre-printed DP to use for this sketch when I found this holly embossed panel. So I decided to use it, and also found the embossed strip! And the Poinsettia was all ready to use in another box from 2011 would you believe! So I just added them all together and made this!


I may use it as a template for some card packs next year as it was really simple and easy and would be even if I had to start from scratch!

Ok, I think I better go have a cuppa and chill for the rest of the evening...got lots of tv to catch up on!

Night!
