Christmas in June

Hello!

My Christmas card inventory is very very low...LOL. My plan to do at least one Christmas card per month just isn't happening. So I thought I'd try to catch up a bit here.

I'm also in the mood for practicing more with my coloured pencils, so that's what I've used with this Christmas card.





A new Christmas Challenge Blog, Christmas Challenges (with sketches), provided me with a wonderful sketch by Janneke. This card is for their very first Challenge.

Other challenges

Cute Card Thursday - Challenge 167 - Embellish it!

Just Magnolia hAnglar & sTanglar - Week 110 - Anything Goes with the option of adding lace

ABC Challenge - V for Variety - at least 3 different type of embellishments



This Magnolia image is of Tilda Wants a Hug from the Merry Little Christmas Collection 2010. Anything Magnolia can be purchased from Magnolia-licious on-line store. If you don't see it in stock there, contact Diana, and she will try to order it in for you.



Thanks so much for dropping by. Your visit is very much appreciated. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
