New Year Resolutions

Each year one of my New Year resolutions is to start making Christmas cards early -  this year I am determined to keep it! I usually make a dozen or so 'Mam' cards for people at work as they aren't easy to find in the shops (even here in the North East)...



I used an unbranded circle wreath die I bought from Wish and filled the 'holes' with various shiny papers, mirri-card and pearls. For the greeting matting and borders I've used a lovely linen textured silver paper. Finally, I've added a ready made sequin bow from The Range.

Everything is soooo shiny - it was quite difficult to photograph well!

I'm playing along with the challenges at:

Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge - anything goes
Crafter's Cafe #234 - clean and simple
Christmas Crafts All Year Round - anything Christmas
ABC Christmas Challenge - A is for anything goes
Creative Fingers #177 - anything goes
CRAFT Challenge #540 - anything goes
Little Red Wagon #532 - After Christmas is before Christmas
613 Avenue Create #229   - make it shiny 

One down - about 50 to go...

Thanks for visiting
