Good morning everyone - my work project has been so demanding over the past six months that I ended up with a lot of holidays left to take before the end of the year ... so I've finished work yesterday for Christmas ... no more work til 2nd January - YIPPEE!!
One down side of this was that I had to have all my cards made and written for my colleagues in good time; so I had a couple more focussed card-making sessions earlier in this week, going on late into the evening to get them all finished.
Here are a couple of fairly simple ones I made - I'm quite pleased with this pared-down look though.
Card 1:
Stamps: LotV "Teddy & Robin"; Stempendous sentiment;
Media: Promarkers and Flexmarkers; Stickles on the snow;
Supplies: wooden snowflake from Hobbycraft; ribbon from my stash.

At risk of repeating myself, I think this is my favourite LOTV Christmas image. As you have done so before, you have created 2 gorgeous cards with it! The simplicity of your design has allowed the image to have 'the starring role'.
So glad to hear that you now have some time off work to 'catch your breath', and enjoy the festive season.
Hugs,
Jennifer. x
