Christmas in August....


Hi everyone..well feeling better..especially after my new Lili of the Valley stamp arrived...think I may need to get a few more! The papers I had in my stash from last year or maybe even the year before...so I thought I would use them up to make some room for all the new Christmas papers have my eye on. Anyway..these papers are Heidi Grace - Frost Boulevard and they are very pretty but this is all the scraps I have left so you can't really see how lovely they are. I coloured James and his crackerwith new Promarkers(still need more as the colours I bought are all a bit dark) and then touched up with waterpencils...it is very therapeutic...isn't it Lindsey?? I layered the image onto an embossed panel circles and also added a ribbon and the merry christmas charm which I totally forgot I had and of course a few snowflakes....can't have Christmas without snowflakes!! I have entered this card in the challenges below:

Fi, he is so cute! I wish i could justify buying more stamps but even I can't and I have a degree in "Unnecessary Purchase Jusitfication"!. The papers are gorgeous and yes pencils are therapeutic. Cheaper than a therapist....ah ha! I have justified a purchase!
