Baby's First Christmas

Hi Crafters,

A quick post to share a little card I made for my Christmas stash box.
I'd like to enter this into the challenge at 
Rudolph Day Challenge - January ATG Christmas


This is  a digital download from CraftsUprint called 'Good Christmas Puppy' and I have used it here for a baby's first Christmas card.
I have matted and layered with glitter card stock using my scalloped square dies from Tonic and layered the image according to the decoupage sheet.
I love this colour combination together too.

Thanks for calling by,

Lorraine

It's been very windy throughout the night and in to this morning but not as bad as some have had it on the West coast and further up in the North. Things have been flying around in the garden which I thought were secure so several trips to pick up stray plant pots etc, I've decided to lay the wooden bird table down on the grass as I don't think it will take another battering. I hope you are all ok where you are.
See you soon,

Lorraine
