Anyway my card today is for our new challenge over at Sweet Stampin where this week our theme is 'Christmas in July'. Brilliant, as it gave me a real kick to get started on my xmas cards, and I have such a long way to go. We are sponsored by the ever-generous Joanna Sheen (for our monthly prize) and Di's DigiDownloads for our weekly winner - 2 great prizes!
Now this is a teeny-weeny card, only 4 x 4 inches and I cant believe that we used to use this size all the time for square cards! lol! :D The cute image is an old Stampavie stamp I have had for years called 'Kitten' by Gillian Roberts, and the papers are Memory Box. I used an MS punch, ribbon from Joanna Sheen and a little Jingle Bell from WOC.
I am entering this card in the below competitions:
Crafts & Me - Anything Goes
Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes
Wild Orchid Crafts - round in circles (the paper has circles, the pompom is a circle and the pearls are :)
Thanks so much for visiting my blog and all the lovely comments, and I hope everyone has a smashing weekend whatever you have planned!
