Hello everyone. Hope everyone is well on this miserably dull and wet day. When is this rain going to stop!!!!. It resembles a rugby pitch in my back garden and I nearly fell A over T when I put the hedgie food out earlier!!!!.
Well it's that time again and the Christmas Card Club had another challenge this time set by the lovely Lizzie which was to make a project with a musical theme. I chose one of my favourite Christmas songs by Andy Williams "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year". I wanted to try making one of these gorgeous star shaped cards/decorations and I was surprised how quick and easy they were. Think I will be making a few more of these!!!!.
