Jingle Snowman

Hi, and welcome!

Welcome to December!  It's officially the Christmas Season.....oh yes it is!

I've got the halls decked.......oh yes I have!

Had help from Jack, our 14 year old grandson.......he did a sterling job with our Christmas tree....and, since Jonathan now lives in Ireland, Jack helped his Grandad to put up the outdoor lights....love a bit of sparkle and twinkle......oh yes I do!

So, our home looks and feels very festive, (too tired to take piccies tonight, but will give you a peek, soon), and now all I need for Christmas is...........SNOW!........bring it on!!

Didn't have a minute to do anything crafty today, but here's something I managed to put together yesterday........

A Christmas card.....well, who'da thunk?.....haaa!

I've done it again......the image is a freebie, but must have snagged it before I understood you're supposed to give credit to the artist...sorry......so please feel free to let me know if you recognize this cheery fella......EDITED....he's from Bugaboo...yaaaay!

I used red cardstock as the card base, and used some freebie paper that came with a magazine.........cut a lacy strip with a Martha Stewart punch, and layered on some red glittery ribbon (thanks again, Shelly!)......

Coloured up with Promarkers, and added a bit of sparkle to the bells with a Sakura glitter pen......the green ribbon was from my local market....love the bit of gold glitter on it!

Used a scrap of red glitter card to cut a shape from a Nestie, and layered a diecut snowflake on top...added a bit of seasonal sparkle to that, too...heehee......

The sentiment is another freebie (I think it was from TLC), and I simply inked around the edges and popped up on foamies.........Merry Christmas!!

I think I like this one..........

Won't be popping up tomorrow because Ken and I are planning to visit the Christmas Market, in Manchester....some of our kids, and grandkids are comin'. too....should be fun!

Hope it SNOWS....haaaa!

Hugs,
