the most wonderful time of the year

Happy Card Making Day :)

I've had a do not disturb sign on me craft room door today.  I seem to be swamped all of a sudden and with going on me jollies next week I really need to get the desk cleared, DT work finished and commisions packed up ready to go.

That didn't stop me having a wee play though.  I was inspired by the Less Is More challenge this morning.  I don't usually play along with this as I'm rubbish at CAS but I liked the theme plus I've some new Christmas dies to play with.

So here is my take on the WHITE ON WHITE CHRISTMAS.

sentiment - Sparkle n Sprinkle

die - Precious Ornaments

snowflake embossing folder

I cut the dies, embossed the bauble part and added a sentiment.  Then I faffed around for ever with the layout.  Yip, that's what get's me every time with CAS, I just never seem to get the placement quite right.  All in all though I'm quite pleased with how it eventually turned out.

Less Is More - white on white Christmas
