My First Homemade Cracker

Good morning everyone, do you remember the Christmas card i made for my new Grandson? Well here's something else for him, his 1st Christmas cracker and my First attempt to create one. The stamp was a freebie from a mag' stamped onto a Marianne Design frame die cut and i coloured with Distress Inks and added some glitter. I punched a snowflake edge to go around the centre of the cracker and even used the waste bits to decorate the ends. I finished it off with some organza ribbon and i wrote out the sentiment on the back.

'Just Hear Those Sleigh Bell's Ringing'

Hi everyone, i hope you are all well this morning. I have made a Christmas card for my dear Husband and the sentiment reflects just how i feel about him!! I've coloured the image with TH Distress Inks and i'm really pleased with the result!!

Here are the Lyrics for anyone who's forgotton the words

'Just hear those sleigh bells jingling,Ring-ting-tingling too,Come on, it's lovely weatherFor a sleigh ride together with you,Outside the snow is fallingAnd friends are calling, "Yoo hoo",Come on, it's lovely weatherFor a sleigh ride together with you.

Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap,Let's go, let's look at the show,We're riding in a wonderland of snow.Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap,It's grand, just holding your hand,We're riding along with a songOf a wintry fairy land.

Our cheeks are nice and rosy,And comfy cozy are we,We're snuggled up togetherLike two birds of a feather would be,Let's take that road before us,And sing a chorus or two,Come on, it's lovely weatherFor a sleigh ride together with you.'
