Advent card.

Time once more for the girls in the Christmas Card Club to show our makes. It was Lorraine's turn to choose the theme and she chose Festive food. I don't have anything in my stash for that so I fell back on the Anything Goes element that we can use if needed. With the state of my internet I have also delved into my archives and found a card I made and sent last year but never showed. I have scheduled this well in advance whilst I can still post with pictures. 


I really liked this card when I received it one Christmas so it went into my used Christmas card stash.
I trimmed it down very slightly mounted onto glitter card and then onto a bright gold card stock. I then made into one of my stock Acetate fronted cards. This acetate sheet has gold falling snow on it and looked relay good with the card. The yellow ribbon was from my stash.

Hopefully  we  will know shortly  what is happening with the phone line and if it can be fixed without major disruption. Fingers and toes crossed.

This is a great card ValeryAnn and the 12 days of Christmas is a terrific recycle. I sometimes do this with cards I really love then forget where I put them. I am using some recycled stuff on my card for tomorrow's post from a card I got this past Christmas - just in case I lose it ... lol! Christine x
