I know It's early but.......

I need to get ahead with my Christmas Cards! Every year i say 'July?! Thats way too early to be making Christmas Cards!' But after the last couple of years to leaving it to the last minute i will be good this year and have them ready for a change!

I've used 'Gifts Galore' Digi Stamp which is available here or for your rubber lovers out there it's available here it can be used for any occassion really just not for Christmas as i've used it here but it does make a fab Christmas card!


I've used Echo Park 'All I Want for Christmas' Digi Papers together with Kraft Cardstock and the Sentiment is just typed up through GIMP and printed off with my Digi and my Ribbon and Buttons are from my stash and of course not forgetting my Promarkers to ink in! I'd used Blush, Duck Egg, Ice Grey 1, Pear Green, Poppy, Sandstone and Spice.

P.S.

Don't forget our Challenge is still ongoing! So show us your Christmas Creations and also......

Now onto my creation for this month's challenge, I've gone for a criss cross card which i've never made before but i think its turned out quite well, you can either put a note in like i've done or tweek the sizes to make it smaller for a gift card holder i think it looks rather cool unfornatley it dosen't stand like a normal card but hey it looks pretty esp with Olive the Otter from PMS she is sooo sweet!
