Christmas lights or in my case Lamposts.
The theme chosen by Asha this time over at the Christmas Card Club
is Christmas Lights.
I remembered I had this digi (don't think they exist anymore) so printed it out to have a play.
Had a rummage through my saved recycled cards and found a couple
of street scenes that I thought would work well.
Also found some card blanks that I had already cut apertures from.
As I already had everything out on my desk I made another card.
Lampost digi is by 'Squiggle' coloured using Promarkers.
Spellbinders Majestic elements used for aperture.
Everything else used from stash.
inside of card again using Majestic Elements.
Sentiment reused from old Card.
Both scenes using old recycled C. Cards from stash.
Sizzix scallop circles 657552 used to die cut aperture.
Sentiment from another recycled card.
Gems from stash.
Inside using Sizzix and Spellbinders die cuts.
Sentiment created in word and printed out in red.
Two more made for my 2014 quota.

Two really great cards. I love how organised you are that you already have some cards that you have die cut apertures from - what I actually mean is that I am envious of you! Lol! Really should try to get better organised! The lamp post really fits the remit. Hugs. Christine x
