Merry Christmas Mum

This is the card I have made for my Mum this year, I always leave it until the last minute.


The decoupage image is from Jayne Nestorenko and the papers are from the Simple Stories Cozy Christmas collection.


I used a Fiskars punch for the border and the ribbon and pearls are from my stash, I'm pretty sure that the sentiment came from one of my Ooh La La Creations CDs.


I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Dream Valley Challenge 97 - Christmas
Glitter n Sparkle Challenge 116 - Traditional Christmas Colours
ABC Christmas Challenge  - 'Y' is for 'Your Family'

  5. How pretty, Pauline! I like how you always coordinate the inside of your cards. Beautifully designed, with those layers. Your mum will love it! It must be fun to have a tradition of leaving your mum's to the last minute - I fondly recall certain last minute traditions I shared with my mom, too, and wish they could still happen. Take care, Pauline, and Merry Christmas! hugs, de
