Hello, I'm starting to realise how few weeks there are left until Christmas- and how many more cards I need. Unless I want to resort to buying from a shop I need to up my game! I have a little box of images I had coloured or part coloured earlier (some of them years ago!) and found a few Christmas ones amongst them, so decided to finally make a few cards with them. This little cutie, a part of a set from C.C. designs, is coloured with Polychromo pencils. I followed a sketch from Cheerful Sketches and used up some papers from Trimcraft which I've had for ages. I also managed to use some little wooden stars and some brads- I remember a time when every card I made sported these!
Well, I'd better not sit here all day waffling on- got more cards to make!
Thanks for visiting
Chris

A lovely card Chris, I love the jolly image, and it's a great design with the papers. I have a drawer full of neglected Christmas papers, I need to try something like this.

I got a start reminder having my nails done this morning when the girl doing them said she had finished her Christmas shopping as it was six weeks Thursday. Shock horror, apart from ideas have non, but cards done and dusted so a bonus I guess.
The image on your card is fun, as Meg said a vintage feel, lovely to see to at our Christmas themes at Allsorts and we Love Stamping, many thanks.

Beautiful card Chris and a lovely use of your Christmas papers. Like you I’m not very far ahead with my Christmas cards so I really need to get a wriggle on the next couple of weeks! Xx
Such a sweet image, beautifully coloured of course, this is gorgeous, love the papers too Chris, the red makes everything pop.I still have a drawer full of wood hearts and stars, and remember the button craze, loads of them too, haha. I really need to try and make the odd card, everything is on hold. xx
