How has your week been? It has been so hot everything seems to have slowed down. My mother-in-is still in hospital so we will be visiting at the weekend. I think we need to look into getting them some help around the house. My mother-law-actually admitted that she might need some help.
I have been entering the Rudolph Days challenge every month to keep me on track with my Christmas cards. Here is a little card I made with Snippets and some of my new dies from the John Next Door range.
Okay you must have noticed that I am obsessed with making Snippets backgrounds. They look great in all different colours. This time I added some lines of glitter card to match one of the mats.
This is the sentiment that comes with the Round Bauble die set from the John Next Door range.
You get two stag dies in the Round Bauble set. They face opposite ways I thought they looked nice in rows along the card.
Have a great weekend. We will be visiting the hospital at the weekend.
I would like to enter the following challenges:
Happy Crafting

Gorgeous card Jackie, wonderful background and love the white reindeers. xx
Love the die of the reindeer on your card Jackie. Great layout and colours.
Wish you all the best with your mother-in-law. It isn't easy to admit that she needs help in and around the house. My mum is exactly the same, she tries to do as much she still can do, only a few things it are.

Hi Jackie,
Happy rudolf Days.
I love how you create those backgrounds they always look so fab.
Am I being dense but how do do that background tried finding it on UTube.
Love the prancing Reindeer and the super sentiment die.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
I've been perusing your "snippets" posts and you've inspired me! Thank you!
I love your use of leftover bits to make gorgeous backgrounds for your cards. The white deer silhouettes look elegant against the blues.
Thanks for joining us at Cut it Up for our Critter challenge!
