Anyway on to the reason for two post this week while being immersed in blog land i read a blog called Cards & Things Challenges with a colour challenge that i could not resist because it was some of my favorite colours Cherry Cobbler Old Olive and Crumb Cake all SU and not having done many Christmas cards yet !!!! i set myself a challenge to get on and the result is four cards and another two set up and ready to put together i have used one SU stamp set called Season of Joy for all the cards and a new Tim Holtz decorative strip die Christmas Greenery which i bought as a bargain at Doncaster show that hadn't been out the packet yet oops £4 cheaper than i had seen it anywhere else and red gems from Mieflower a bargain at £1 for a hundred check her web out here
