Ornament Keepsake Christmas Card



I have not been good at updating my blog lately as I have been spending most of my time outdoors in the garden.  I have also been helping hubby with the stock, fencing and planting paddocks.  The sheep have settled down and we have moved them while we replant their paddocks.  We are due to get our Ram in December as well a more calves.  We have a paddock locked up for hay so we will be making hay before Christmas.  Spring and the beginning of summer is always really busy for us.  Most of our veggies are in, so all we have to do now is just add a few new veggies every few weeks so that not everything is ready at the same time.  Well enough blabbing about me and onto the good stuff.

 

Two cards, but one is slightly different.  I personally prefer the second card.  I cased this card from Andrea Walford, so do stop by her blog for a visit.

That Stunning Christmas Ornament

I created that absolutely stunning Christmas Ornament on the front cover of the Holiday Catalogue.  It is so easy to make and the only thing that takes the time is the stamping and cutting.  The Holiday Framelits definitely make the cutting easy.

I will be making these as gifts for my children as we have a Christmas tradition of swapping Christmas Tree decorations each year.  We have been doing this for about the pass eight years and I have a wonderful collection of decorations and they are all really special as you can see the thought that goes into picking just the right ornament.  I am going to have to get a larger tree this year so that I can fit all the decorations on it.

Thanks for stopping by and I apologise for not updating my blog.  The reason is that I have been busy in the garden as I just adore spring with all the new growth.
