I hope you have had a good week. I have been busy. I keep having to write lists to keep track of what I need to do. I am looking forward to the weekend. We are hoping to get some Christmas shopping done at Gunwharf Quays in Portsmouth. We have some vouchers for Cafe Rouge that need using up soon and the closest outlet to us is there.
Yes I have been reusing old Christmas cards again. This time I found I had two of the same design.
The background it the entire Christmas card.
As I had two of the same card I thought I would photograph the before and after. I do love reusing old Christmas cards.
I used the Deer family dies from Creative Expressions. They were cut once in Kraft card and once in black to create a shadow.
I like how the members of the family face each other.
Everything is better when you add deer. Have a great weekend.
I would like to enter the following challenges:
Happy Crafting
