My first Christmas card

Well, here it is, my first Christmas card in 2011.
I used my cricut Basic George to cut out the two circles, it's the first time that I have done this on my Cricut, I have only used it for lettering before. I used my purple ink for the stamps. I used images from my Artilicious cd rom to create the backing paper and embossed edging. The ribbon and snowflakes were from my stash.
I want to get ahead next year so  I am going to join in with the Christmas blog challenges, starting in January !


The challenges I am entering are;


Jingle Belles and Clean and Simple - Holiday fall to layout


Christmas Cards All Year round - August challenge
