White Christmas

 It always makes me smile when I am taking photographs of Christmas cards when the sun is shining and it's warm!! Still, had to be done so that I could share my DT piece for the new challenge at


We are now  Just for Fun challenge and always Anything Goes with a prompt if you would like to go in that direction. The additional theme this time is White Christmas and this is what I made.


I have looked in awe at the truly wonderful stitched cards that Lena shares on her blog and, as luck should have it, managed to find one of the die sets that she used, while paying a visit to Buddly Crafts looking for something else entirely!! Well, I just had to get it and it arrived after I'd coloured this cute couple so my original design changed so I could use it. I joined the lines with a silver pen as I didn't have time to stitch it. But watch this space, I am itching to have a go!! Thank you Lena for the inspiration.

Thank you for stopping by. See you later in the week xx

So very pretty, Sarah! Not too sure I have the patience (or the eyesight) to do that delicate stitching so your silver pen idea is brilliant! xx

What a super card Sarah, love the detail on the side panels, even if it isn't stitched!
Lambs are popping out a pace at the moment, perhaps they heard that snow is forecast towards the middle of the week! :)

Hi Sarah,
this is such a delightful card and the stitched design looks very wonderful.
Your snow people are coloured wonderfully and I love that sentiment as well.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
