o'er Santa's been

Morning girls

I hope you all stayed safe during these terrible winds that have been blowing a a right old hoolie throughout most of the country.  It's been horrendous hasn't it?  Fingers crossed they've blown themselves out now and we've just the white stuff left.  Not that there's been much of that here, a few wee flurries, nothing to worry about really.

Anyway, I've been super busy with my cards lately, so much so that the majority of them have gone without so much as a pic :( 

..... but I did manage to capture a few.

I loved how this one turned out:)   It's nice to work with something other than the traditonal reds and greens of Christmas.

 I'm off to finish decorating my tree.  I did start last night but it's a huge bugger and I was dog tired so left it.  Every year I say I'm going to get a smaller one, then the moaning starts from DD and hubby.  Maybe if they helped put it up.......

Anyway, have a smashing weekend

Morning Girls

 The Paper Shelter will be celebrating their 3rd Birthday  on 8th December so over on the  Challenge Blog my teamies are having Blog Hop to celebrate the occasion. 

There will be prizes available from all of their blogs so be sure to hop along and leave them a comment to be in with a chance to win.  Then, as if that's not enough all you need to do is play along with our challenge

A SPECIAL BIRTHDAY

to be elegible to win a $30 voucher to spend in the store.  You must use at least one Paper Shelter item on your card though to be eligible to win.

Even though, being the newbie I'm not in the hop I couldn't resist playing along.

This is one of three little cuties availabe as a pack here.  I tried my hand at CAS again, I'm gettting to quite like this, easy to put together and no faffing with papers and embellies.  

Anyway, do play along if you have time girls, the more the merrier.
