On a brighter note, here we are in September and at CCC, Challenge 19 was chosen by the ever talented Hazel and her theme was "Something beginning with S". For me it had to be Santa and I used an image from Joanna Sheen's Giordano Christmas CDRom. I printed the image on JS Silk card and used vellum to print the backing paper. My card is a 6 X 6 and I really don't make this size card very often. I matted and layered on some green and red card then added the vellum and the image. The pine branch was from SW, and the pine cones were Sizzix. Merry Christmas was a die from Cheery Lynn and to finish off a SB poinsettia. Only two more sleeps till I meet my lovely friend Jennie and as she goes home on Wednesday, the three of us intend to cram in as much craft as is possible in between the chatter. Enjoy your Weekend and I hope you are having some of the beautiful sunshine we have here, lunch in the garden as it was so hot. Hugs Rita xxx
