Hi everyone! A very quick, "sorta-almost-late" entry (just as well it's a leap year and February has 29 days!) for Christmas card challenges and Rudolph day challenge over at Scrappy Mo's.
It crept up on me - kinda! And had several last years Christmas cards trimmed ready for upcycling - so here is my offering of two!
 |
| Has a lovely gold sheen on this original card with "Away in the manger on it ". Just lifted the nativity scene out by cutting around it carefully, mounting on gold card and popping a gold pearl on the star. As you know, I like Christmas cards to tell of the very first Christmas, when Christ came. |
 |
| Another simple card, just mounted on gold, the white CB candy striped EF was a reject from another card. Verse is digi I made up (Font is Black Chancery, free from Dafont), and SB Ribbon Label die was used, with little gold ink around edges whilst in die. |
Now you're probably wondering (or not! :D) what the big and very exciting announcement is?
Well, it is that I am honoured to have been chosen to join
the Bizzy Bec's Design Team.
Bizzy Bec's is an Australian crafty website that I have used for a while now!:D

I've got plenty of Christmas cards I could upcycle like you do. I'm already behind on my Christmas cards according to my monthly schedule, so I might take the easy way out using ready made images and personalizing them, like you did here. Great idea!
