Show off your Christmas hats

I always think the big countdown starts today with just one whole month of preparation to go!! I am doing pretty well with gift buying, have made my Christmas cake and have been making Christmas cards all year so am doing pretty well on that front too. I intend to settle down and write my cards at the weekend so they can be posted during the first week of December...in theory!!

Here is another to add to the pile, it is my DT inspiration for


where the fun challenge is Show off your Christmas hats.



I have used the lovely James from LOTV. Mine is rubber but the digi is still available here. He was coloured with Promarkers to match the lovely Nitwits papers. As it is a Christmas card the addition of Star Dust is mandatory!! For once the blue mirror board actually photographed well.

So, that is me for today. I hope you have a good week xx

Lovely colours on your James card Sarah, makes a nice change from the traditional. You do sound well organised, much the same here as felt I needed to get a move on before the eye op.

James looks adorable in teal and very trendy. I like the sentiment tucked under the ribbon on the tag and that blue mirri card is lush... only word that really sums up the colour/shine lol x

James is absolutely one of my favorite bears, if no my favorite and you have colored him and set him up so beautifully!
