First of The Year

Yes, my first Christmas card of 2014! I know I won't keep it up but I'm going to give it a go and join in with the challenges at Winter Wonderland. Their first theme of 2014 is Teddy Bears so I've used a Forever Friends bear for my topper and followed this sketch from Friday Sketch


Now this is a Thank You Christmas card for someone I usually forget to make a special card for - our postie Rob. He never complains about the amount of parcels and packages I get delivered and even signs for recorded delivery ones if we're not in. I had lots of snippets of mirror card from making my Christmas cards last year so I've used quite a few bits on this card. The holly is a Marianne Designs die and the Thank You is my new Tattered Lace die which arrived this morning. I'm also entering this into a new challenge called Christmas Fun and also Pixie's Snippets Playground


Now to find a safe place for it for the next 11 months!
