Sheesh where did September go? Well, I suppose I spent most of it on holiday and I must admit I had an absolutely wonderful in time in the Dominican Republic - sigh - so missing the sunshine and palm trees. The rest of the month was taken up with washing, packing and work and it just flew by. Thank goodness my super buddy Max was able to keep Bah! Humbug! running single handed. I owe her big time!
Anyway, I'm back now and ready to be challenged by our weekly Christmas theme at Humbug Hall. This week sees us thinking about the 'Navity'. My card uses an image from a sheet I printed years ago when I was on the Design Team at Ooh la la Creations. See if you keep your print outs long enough they do eventually get used! The card I made at that time using the largest image on the sheet can be seen here. For my new card I used one of the smaller images and matted it on to an embossed layer made using the Swiss Dots folder. To get the size I had to feed the card through the machine 4 times -eeeeeeeeek! The sentiment was printed on to one of the scraps of green card left over using my Xyron Design Runner.
Do pop over to Bah! Humbug! to both join in and check out the fabulous work by my team mates.
My card is also for the challenges at...
- Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes
- The Sisterhood of Crafters - Love that silhouette
- Celebrate the Occasion - any occasion - must use ribbon
- Shopping our Stash Weekly - Black and White plus one other colour.
Have a great weekend everyone. I'm going to be making some Halloween cards with the ladies at work using some fabulous plastic skeletons I found at Poundland - so cool and 24 in the pack so quite a bargain. Fingers crossed that the idea I have for using them works - if it does watch this space.

Welcome back my wee Bah Humbugger friend. Are you absolutely SURE it wasn't Gran Canaria? LOL!
You obviously didn't leave your talent in your suitcase anyway if this beauty is anything to go by. Super image and classic look with the black matting and ribbon detail. Am seriously considering getting a Design Runner now after seeing your results with it. You're such a temptress lol!

Hi Ann
I am so pleased you had a good holiday .. .. hope you are all caught up with that dreaded "return home" washing, ironing, unpacking and putting away sketch. (Never as exciting as packing it in the first place is it!!!?!?!?).
I love your Christmas make.
Gorgeous colours and fabulous image and sentiment.
Love Jules xx
