Starting to think Xmas

My crafting time has been extremely limited this month now I've started back at work, so I've had to let a lot of my regular challenges go for the time being, sorry if you are one that I have been regularly supporting.  Also I'm trying to get into my garden (between showers) and I've even been doing a bit of sewing . . .  but that's another story.

One lovely lady I follow on facebook runs Krafters Cart NZ where she sells all sorts of supplies at great prices.  Anyhow she is running a Xmas card challenge this month where I have entered this card.

I saw this amazing card while looking thru pinterest, and following the link given found a great tutorial here.  It is in a foreign language but the drawing she has given is very easy to follow.  Here is the pattern I used from the site, of which I tweeked a bit to create a 6" x 4" card.

The paperline I've used is the Teresa Collins 'Christmas Home' collection, gorgeous papers, and I love the quality of her papers.  I hope this inspires you to start thinking xmas also.
