I had a fantastic time in London on Saturday night at 'White Christmas', starring Tom Chambers and Aled Jones and i managed to get myself a lovely sparkly handbag from 'Hobbs' (my Christmas present to myself ;-) ). At the moment i have one very tired, full of cold 7 year old, who managed to loose a brand new pair of gloves yesterday and is on a school trip today to 'Butser Farm' with cold hands, as he hasn't got a spare pair.
CAS cards feel me with dread, but i thought as the postage has cost me rather alot this year (especially to Australia, where it was £4 to send a birthday and Xmas card), i thought i would give it a go - although it feels a little bear to me, what do you think ? the stamp is: Penny Black - 'Winter Snuggles / 2999J / 2004', i've framed the image with : MS - 'Snowflake round the corner Punch', the papers are : Dovecraft - 'Winter Wonderland', the sentiment is : Penny Black - 'Christmas Banners /40-253', which i embossed with: Papermania / Heat It Up - 'Blue Glass'.
The Challenges I Would Like To Enter Are :
Dream Valley - where Challenge No: 96 is 'True Blue'
Sparkles Christmas - where Challenge No: 47 is 'A Blue Blue Christmas'
Without Words - where December's Challenge is 'Christmas - Modern Look'
Allsorts - where Challenge No; 288 is 'Animal Magic'
Penny Black Saturday - where the December Challenge is 'Snowing'

Lovely card Sam, I agree, CAS isn't the easiest thing to do, I do love it though! And it's not a little "bear" it's a couple of little hedgehogs!!! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Sparkles Christmas Challenge this month,and for stepping outside of your comfort zone, good luck and hope to see you again.

I love your card and think it's fine because of those papers.....all 5 of my cards to Oz and NZ cost £2.15 each plus I have sent 3 birthday and 2 anniversary over the last 6 weeks. I made mine as flat as possible but it spoils the fun.

Lovely card today and just perfect for your Allsorts theme this week, thanks for joining in the fun.
