What a busy few weeks it's been here. I still need to tidy the house before family arrive tomorrow...but.....I'm taking Tom and Emma out to a party this afternoon and then I'm out again for tea! Hubby's on night shift so he's in bed...and night shift tomorrow too:-(
Anyway I've finally finished my Christmas card orders (last one picked up this morning). I totally ran out of time for making them, so to all of you who I meant to send cards to..I'm sorry! I need to start next years cards next week!!!

I've used a gorgeous image from Di's Digi Stamps called 'Hibernating Hedgie' .I've coloured him with promarkers and added lots of glitter. The background papers are from Craftwork cards. I've used a Marianne Creatables tree die and a spellbinders snowflake.
