Ready for Christmas


 Relief!  the cards are written and off in the post.  Every year I plan to start making early, but as usual end up doing them all over a couple of weeks.  It's a good job I don't mind batch making.

This is one batch using up some very old papers, some stamping and masking of this vintage Santa and a batch of die cut festive greens.  I didn't plan on adding the pearls, but these ended up being hand delivered, so postage wasn't a problem.

I am going to enter this at Allsorts -  It's Got to Be Christmas
  and another entry for We Love Chocolate Baroque - Anything goes 
  and Country View Challenges - Anything Christmas

Well, now that the Christmas cards are sorted, I'll be able to do some catching up.

It is a relief isn't it Avril and these are such a pretty batch, love the vintage feel of that lovely Santa and the deeper tones of red.

Many thanks for sharing and joining us at We Love Chocolate Baroque and Allsorts challenges (let me know some time the make of the Santa stamp as might try and hunt it down).
