Christmas card Club - Chris's challenge


Hi there all. Its been a very very busy and stressful week for my Aunt and I. My Grandma is in hospital with damage to a 20 year old hip replacement. Theatre is the only option which is scheduled Tuesday. She is 93 and has a heart that beats irregularly ............ its going to be a tough day Tuesday hoping she gets through it.

Anyway I did manage to make a card, it wasn't what I set out to do !!! I just couldn't concentrate and then my printer decided to start doing weird things !!! Great that's all I need, I had to buy a new freezer this week (just as I was preparing things for the freezer for Xmas !!! ), the car has got damaged, Gran in hospital ................ I could so do with a Gin & tonic !!! No I know I cant with baby !!!!

The image is a Tatty teddy one and I borrowed my wonderful Aunts bauble nesties. I glittered up the image and made the bauble look like it was hanging. I used my Marianne Star dies again to make tho beautiful embellies !!! I just love them !!! I added glitter along the edges of the outer bauble and papers to give that sparkle !!!

Anyway hope you like it !

  1. Oh dear Liz you sound soooo stressed. Take a deep breath, you can't change anything thats going on so try to calm down and go with the flow. Not good for the little one:( I do hope your gran comes through her operation successfully. I will be keeping her in my prayers on Tuesday. I love your gorgeous card, its perfectly gorgeous and you know how much I love Tatty Ted:0 Take care Liz.
