Baby's 1st Christmas

Hello there, what a horrible dull day today, i just hope my pics look ok!!
I've made a card for my Grandson's 1st Christmas using a cute polar bear and a baby's 1st
Christmas images from Pink Gem Designs and i've coloured both images with Promarkers.
I've used a beautiful blue vellum paper with stars on for the background and glittered the snowglakes and star on the image. I added gems, a cute little bow and a button which are all from my stash.

Vintage Christmas

Good morning my friends, well i just had to share this with you before i went to bed!!
This is my vintage Christmas project, i stamped the base card with PM Christmas and Debbie Moore flourish stamps and then heat embossed. I used a Christmas Carol sheet and a lovely vintage image of children around the Christmas tree and i distressed all edges. I layered the images on to a lace doily which i distressed also. I punched some gold mirror board out with my MS Deco Fan PATP and finished it all off with some Christmas corner peel-offs and a beautiful cream & gold bow. I hope you like it!!!
