Carol Singing

Good afternoon everyone, hope your are enjoying your weekend. I had the last two bank holidays off work so I have to work tomorrow. Wish the weather would make up its mind, yesterday we had rain and a humongous thunderstorm, today the sun is shining but it is really muggy. I've made a christmas card today and combined the challenges at ABC Christmas Challenge and Winter Wonderland Challenge. I made my quilted paper on the computer using nitwits paper, I inserted them into a word document, shrunk them to size and joined them together.

Ingredients:

papers - nitwits

mariane creatable die - 'poinsettia'/'lantern'/'holly' leaves

cheery lynn die - 'holly corner'
