Hey everyone!
Well, when you think about it, Christmas is not too far away! It makes me wonder where has this year gone???! I remember as a child that time just seemed to stand still. I think when you are a kid you are always in such a hurry trying to experience all sorts of things and sometimes that also meant growing up. But now, when you have your own kids, you want things to slow down so you can enjoy those precious gems a little longer…….I think I have gone way off track here but I think what I am trying to say is if I don’t start my Christmas cards now, it will be too late and they will not get done and I might have to…….some people might want to close their eyes at this point as I am about to swear!!!…….BUY Christmas cards to post! LOL!
Anyway here is this weeks colour combo
We have also the added challenge from Sarah-Jane this month to make a card with buttons. I love buttons so that was easy! Also Sarah-Jane is hosting this week so make your way to Sarah’s blog to submit your Inspiration.
As you can see I tried the Vintage look! I don’t think I did enough on the middle panel. What do you think??
- Stamp Set– Winter Post, Christmas Classics
- Cardstock– Kraft, More Mustard, Not Quite Navy
- Ink-Close to Cocoa, Versa Mark, More Mustard
- Accessories– Colour Spritzer, Sponges, SAMJ, Mat Pack, Beachfront Ribbon Originals (retired), Linen Thread, Kraft Corduroy Button, Cutter Kit
Now don’t forget to check out the rest of the DT!

Hi Kirsty,
wonderful Xmas card, love all the different textures – the ribbon, twine and of course button! The spritzing (?) looks great on the Kraft base too -defintiely modern vintage;)
