Good morning, first of all I'd like to wish everyone a very happy and healthy 2019...let's hope the coming year will be a good one!
It seems like ages since I've posted anything on my blog...came down with what I thought was a nasty cold during the run up to Christmas ended up with full blown 'flu...aches and pains, dizziness, the lot! Of course my husband caught it too, he spent most of Christmas in bed.
It wasn't all bad though, we did see all of our lovely family, they braved the coughs and sneezes :)) to be with us.
and I had the most exciting surprise...I'm going to be a grandmother again in July!!!!
I am over the moon!
Anyway...my card today is for our new challenge at Fab'n'Funky the challenge theme this week is to recycle a Christmas card. I think it's a great idea, so many cards are much too beautiful to throw away so why not reuse them?
I combined these two lovely cards to make mine:-
Apologies for photos...daylight is not good at the moment!
I made a shaped card blank and covered it with the background paper from the deer card (the deer and trees were popped up in front, difficult to photograph) then I used a circle die to cut the main image from the top card, which I adhered to the centre. I used one of the trees with deer and rabbit, popped it up on foam dots to the left of the circle. I added the die cut snowflakes and a stamped sentiment to finish. It was easy ...and quick. A card for Christmas 2019 already!
Thank you for stopping by today, hope you're tempted to play along with this fun challenge...for more inspiration from my lovely teamies please hop over and check out the Challenge Blog.
Have a great day
Chris
