Last Two Christmas Cards

Welcome to my blog today, just wanted to say thanks for all the lovely comments on my cards. Have been out at choir tonight and took my number two granddaughter with me, She was very good, sat on a blanket and played with her books and toys, ate a small packet of chips and drank her water. She was all rugged up in her jacket and a new scarf, hate and gloves set I bought her today. She is staying with me for the week so Mum can get a bit more rest to recover from her caesarean after having little Isaac.
Well, tonight I am sharing the final two cards that I've made for Shirley's Christmas Challenge. Fifty cards - all finished, I'm going to have a break now and probably do a few more later in the year to finish up how many I need.
Anyway, here they are - I love this paper I found last year with cardinals on and I found a stamp also with the same bird and embellished it with a die cut pointsettia from Marianne Designs
The other has stamped stockings from a retired? set from SU - an embossed snowflake backing set on very dark green matte. I based this card on one I originally did as a kit with Shirley last year. There is still time to join in Shirley's Challenge of 50 Christmas cards as it finishes early Dec. I think. Just click on the link above to go to her blog.
Well, off to give the fire a bit of a stir and have a nice cup of hot chocolate, even bought some marshmallows today to go in it!
Take care,
Sandy
