Wishing You the Merriest Christmas

Well I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, I've had a bit of a break from the computer and I've just realised my card for the latest challenge at Crafting from the Heart challenge blog didn't post. I still had it in draft mode. So..... apologies to all and here is my DT card to share. It will still post with the original date but I'm not entering any challenges so that should cause no problems.

Recipe:
White cardstock from stash
Silver embossed cardstock from stash
Image from PaperNest Dolls - Elf Emma with Lights
Sentiment from Close To My Heart stamp set - Merriest Christmas
Embossing folder - Christmas Vineyard
Copic Markers
Memento Tuxedo Black inkpad

Thanks for popping in to take a look and please leave a comment if you have time.
Best wishes for 2018.
Hugs, Sandy

I'm off to try and get some sleep, it's been a very hot day and we've had a thunder storm and rain tonight which has just made it very muggy! So.... the fan will be whirring away to make an attempt at keeping us a bit cooler.
Hope to see you over at the challenge blog entering some of your creations. Let's send 2017 off with a big bang and see how many entries we can get.
