Christmas card club challenge Sue P choice the 12 days of christmas

Well girls I am sorry especially to you Sue as I am off challenge...I made a card for this challenge and thought that I hadscheduled it...but I cannot find it anywhere....nor the photos so please forgive me ....rather than not post at all I have a couple of cards I made when I got my 2013 heirloom ornaments...


I liked playing with these dies and their matching justrite stamp sets.....so I made another one


the flowers are made from string...beads covered in glue and dipped in glitter..the pine cones are ones I have collecteed through out the year on walks....glued and glittered....

Christmas card club challenge....Maureens choice "upcycle an item onto your card "...

one of my favorite things to do is keep the cards I like and then make them into new cards...these are made from some M&S cards from a few years ago....



I have used the lettering and matted an layered it up with red mirri...red glitter on super double sided tape....and lots of dew drops for the holly berries...I had 3 of these cards sent to me one year and thought they were lovely and now they have a new life....



tick the box Maureen?....
