CHRISTMAS CARD CLUB

this fornights challenge was set by Sally
and was to feature Father Christmas see my side bar for details of the Christmas Club


well I seached through my drawers and found this lovely old woodem PSX stamp that I bought in 1997...and never used since!!!! I have loved colouring it in, glossy accenting the berries and ice diamonding the edge.....should crafting be this much fun, you bet.
Looking forward to seeing all your cards ladies...you give me inspiration and times are really tough with my old Mum at present 3 falls in 2 weeks...Lizzie and I are full time...
Have a great weekend.
I am entering this card at ABC Christmas Challenge
