Birthday Cards...I am so lucky

I was so lucky recently when I celebrated my 40th birthday to received some wonderfully handcrafted cards from friends, which I thought I would share with you this afternoon. They are just so beautiful, thank you ladies.

Festive Friday #4

Wow, it's the four week of Festive Friday already (yes it is Saturday, but I did not get the time to post yesterday). This time I have created a very clear and simple Christmas card as that is the theme this fortnight. I am loving making a start on my Christmas cards in February, I wonder if I will have them completed early this year.

Now it is a challenge with a weekly winner, so how do you enter you maybe thinking, well here are the guidelines:

• Choose a card or project that inspires you from Nicole's blog (hopefully it will be me)
• Create your own Card or Project
• Load it up online somewhere and mention who on the Design Team inspired you
  
• Link your project on Nicole's blog (entries close Thursday, 9 February at 10am with winners posted with next week’s challenge).

Well, that's enough about how it works, I better share my card with you all. It uses the Contempo Christmas very is great value for money as you get the ornaments and Christmas tree together with the words, Merry Christmas.
