The Santa Express...

Good morning everyone,

Well, so much for yesterday being a heatwave and the best September day in the history of the world!
it wasn't either of those here!  Wall to wall thunder and lightening and really muggy!

Anyways, seems like a perfect day to think about Christmas cards!
We have a new challenge starting today at 
and it is 
Sew What - Real or Faux!
so (sew)! - we want to see your gorgeous Christmas cards with some real or pretend stitching on them.

Our generous sponsor this time is 
Freckled Fawn
with a fab $15 voucher for the lucky winner.

I have a bit of a thing for stitched dies so I decided to make a card with faux stitching using an MFT die.

I used two images from gorgeous Little Miss Muffet Stamps - (I was lucky enough to win a recent challenge at LMMS and I had no difficulty using my generous gift voucher)!
I coloured these images with Copics, cut them out with a stitched rectangle die and made a trifold card.  The centre panel is made with Grunge Christmas Postmarks sentiments from Lili of the Valley

...and here we are...too cute - I loved it when my boys were little 'uns!
