It's a horrible rainy day here in Sussex, at least it's the first one we've had since the school hols started. I've been really busy with H - he's done bike rides, sports days, fun days at the leisure centre, swimming, tennis, ten pin bowling we've visited Parham House and Wakehurst Place and Alan has taken him to see the Castleford Tigers in the Semi's and Final of the Challenge Cup. Alan and I managed to get tickets on Friday night to see 'One Man & 2 Guv'nors' and if you get the chance go, as we haven't haven't laughed so much in ages.
I thought it was about time i made a Christmas Card, and i've used : LOTV - 'Snow Buddies', the papers are : DCWV - 'The Winter Matstack' (from years ago), the snowflake edge around the image is : Memory Box - 'Frostyville Wreath' and it has been glamour dusted, along with the edge of the image, the snowflakes are : Marianne Design - 'LR0125', and along with the sentiment : Cuddly Buddly - 'Christmas Greetings', they have been covered in : Stampin Up - Heat And Stick Powder and Dazzling Diamonds, the ribbon is from : The Ribbon Girls, and the pearls are from my stash.
The Challenges I Would Like To Enter Are :
LOTV - Ideas To Inspire - where the Challenge this months is 'Christmas In August'
Divas By Design - where the Challenge is 'Pretty Pearls'
Sweet Sketch 2 - where they are up to Sketch - 'SSW2 - 25' and it's super as it was just perfect to use up my DCWV mat stack.
Winter Wonderland - where the Challenge is 'Anything Goes For Christmas'
Sparkles Christmas - where Challenge No: 43 is 'Snowflakes'
Crafty Hazelnuts Christmas -where the Challenge CHNC191 is 'Merry And Bright'

A lovely snow card Sam, inspired by Alaska almost ! It's one I have always fancied but you are spot on it doesn't rate on hubby's radar. We did make another booking thought, the 1,2,3, offers on board were something not to be missed.
Here's hoping the weather improves for the last few days of the school holidays.

Hi Sam
A gorgeous Christmas make. Love your cute image and all those scrummy dies.
Those school holidays seem to have flown by don't they?
I hope you had a good weekend.

Oh my gosh Sam, your card is so gorgeous! Love the adorable image and love how you embellished it. I am soooo "embellishment-challenged" and I gain so much inspiration from your cards as this is something I would love to have more confidence with. Really love those Marianne snowflakes too - they look so pretty.
