The stamp I couldn't resist...

It's all your fault Nic...




This is a Stampendous stamp called Snowy Postcard, and I've stamped it on cream linen card in various distress inks.  Lots of glamour dust was added (everyone and everything in our house is now very sparkly!), and then I mounted the images using a Nestabilities floral oval die.

I'm entering my cards for the following challenges
The Stamp Man - in the bleak mid-winter
Simon Says - Merry Christmas
Addicted to Stamps - blue Christmas/ winter (the blue card)
Totally Gorjuss - easy does it

Apologies for being a rubbish blogger over the last couple of days... I was determined to get all the cards and wrapping sorted before today, so that we could have a relaxing evening tonight - we always end up doing last minute wrapping on Christmas Eve, but not this year, yay!  We're going to relax in front of the tv, have a couple of drinks and cuddle the kitten lol.

Hubby's family are Polish, and celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve - so we've done the big meal and presents with them today.  It's been a lovely day, and we've all had fab presents - MIL gave me some Papertrey Ink goodies, Amazon vouchers, money, clothes and perfume... she really does spoil us all!  And then we get to do it all over again with my family tomorrow :o)

Sooo... this is my last post for a couple of days, and I'd just like to wish all my wonderful blogging friends a FAB Christmas!  I hope you all have the best time with your families :o)  See you soon!

Beautiful versions of this stamp Lisa. I too have Nic to blame for having bought this stamp and I also bought one for my Mum and put in her Christmas parcel. The only difference being I've not used mine this year so guess what will be on some of my cards next year. Hope you have a lovely Christmas.

Gorgeous cards Lisa. I had to buy that stamp too! I've only used it a couple of times this year but I think I'll certainly use it for next year's cards too.

I think I'm all set now. Not much wrapping for grown up kids and definitely no toys for the grandkids. My other daughter very kindly wrapped up bike helmets for them from us. Just done their stockings and they seem to be full of sweeties!

Have a lovely Christmas with your lovely family Lisa and see you soon.
