Upcycled Snowy Christmas card.

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

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:
The October Rudolph Days Challenge
Challenge 39 at the Holly and the Ivy Challenge blog
Challenge 408 at Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge blog

Happy Crafting

Hugs Jackie

    Love how you have used the black to shadow them too it makes them pop so much more.

    I love recycling old cards as well. Your choice of layout and embelishments look great with the original image.
