Oh Holy Night

Good Afternoon

I'm sorry I've not been around much.  My condition has deteriorated again so my GP is increasing my medication to try and get the pain under control a bit better.  It's all making me feel even more 'out of it'.

My card for today shows the true meaning of Christmas:

I used a lovely brown linen card, gold mirri board and papers from Making Cards.  Spellbinders dies are used and a pearl in each corner and finally some peel-offs to complete the card.

My card is for the following challenges:

Totally Paper Crafts Challenge 94 - Christmas

Winter Wonderland Challenge - Nativity

Anything Goes Challenge Blog - Decorative/fancy corners

Rainbow Lady's Challenge - A Christmas Carol (Oh Holy Night)

Bunny Zoe's Crafts Challenge - Christmas With Pearls

Sparkles Christmas Challenge - Nativity

Christmas Cards All Year Round - Anything Goes

Thanks for visiting my blog today.
