week 24...christmas green things

 

I had been after this  spellbinders die set for ages and tried to order it from America...it got to the airport and then returned and my money refunded...bitterly disappointed and some 3 months later I found it here in a sale ... its such fun with the  swinging gnome...

damp and drizzly today so doing some washing as Richard is off down to Birmingham to his record fair for the day...maybe a little crafting this afternoon

Thanks for popping by today

Richards Christmas card

 for this year 

I bought myself some new matting and layering aperture dies from John Next Door which were supposed to fit A6...but sadly my cards must be a bit smaller so a bit of trimming had to be done
