MARGARET'S BLACK & WHITE CHRISTMAS CARD CHALLENGE

At last I am finally getting around to blogging my Christmas card which was due for the Christmas Card Club on Sunday. It was the lovely MARGARET'S turn and she chose the theme of black & white for the challenge, a firm favourite of mine!!!. 


INGREDIENTS

WHITE & BLACK BAZZILL CARD
BLACK TARTAN CARD FROM HANDY HIPPO
RED GINGHAM DESIGNS CHRISTMAS HOUSE STAMP
RIBBON & SENTIMENT PEEL OFF FROM STASH
DIAMOND STICKLES

Really love this stamp and is the first time I have used it after bagging it from EBAY. 

If any of you are interested in joining our group of 20 Christmas Card Club member's just leave me or any of the girls on my sidebar a message. We are a totally chilled group of girls who make a Christmas card once a fortnight to a challenge set by one of us just to get ahead with our cards before December. 

I would also like to enter my card into CRAFTY HAZELNUTS CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE which theme this week is "White Christmas".

I am certainly feeling more relaxed this week and have had my lovely Niece Rebecca staying for the past couple of days so we have been in the craft room creating. I'm starting to feel better and although I am still snotty (sorry!) I am not feeling so fluey. 

Ok I want to know if many of my lovely friends are going to Ally Pally at the weekend???. I am going on the Saturday. I am so excited. I know three of my lovely friends are going and will be meeting up with them. If you are let me know ok and will arrange to get together.

Will be back again soon my lovelies!!!.

Big hugs Clare xxx

    Hi Clare, this is lovely,I love the backing paper and the stamp is fab, so much detail. I have bought quite a few things off ebay.
    I didn't know what ally pally was so googled it and oh how I wish I was going. Think I may have to try to go another time. Enjoy yourselves and try not to buy everything!
    Hugs Sue W.
