A Time For Giving

Hello everyone, I hope you have not been getting too wet in the recent showers.  Here in Devon we have been suffering from bad storms, the worst of which was on Sunday and woke us in the early hours of the morning with the most amazing claps of thunder and flashes of lightning, directly overhead. It was so loud that it set off most of the house alarms in our street waking most of our neighbors.  We actually thought it had struck us as it knocked out our sky box for quite a few hours and we thought it was a goner.  My boys were ready to leave home at the prospect but luckily it is now working again. Anyway, Monday was my first day off in a long time and I was determined to get into the craft room and make some cards, despite my lack of sleep.   So without further ado here is one of the first ones I made, using my 'Twas the night pad and a cute James Bear stamp from LOTV colored with my lovely spectrum noir pens. Colours used are TN2 TN4 and TN6




I just had to add a little lace from the Ribbon girl (Laila) and a string of pearls from them too, and the greetings are from the Christmas greeting pad from LOTV too.I really did try to keep this CAS but couldn't help myself and couldn't help adding a sprinkle of Snow flakes and of course some sticklers.

Well I hope you like it and it gives you some inspiration
Please let me know what you think, I just love to read your comments, do you have trouble sticking to cas too.
Best wishes
Maria
