Reindeer games ....

... don't you just hate it when you note down a deadline and discover that it's wrong!!  That's what I've done with the challenge from last week's Jingle Belles - Reindeer Games - the deadline was yesterday!  Doh, silly me ;(  Oh well, I'm quite pleased with my card, so I'm going to share it anyway.


I knew what I wanted to make, but it's been a bit busy and this afternoon I've actually manged to find half an hour to spend in my craft room and put this together.  It's really simple.  The backing paper is a bit of scrap so I don't know which company its from - but it makes the perfect backdrop to my gorgeous blue sparkly reindeer.  The deer is actually a clear sticker that I put on some brown card and then cut out.  It was then simply a case of adding a suitable sentiment - see, quick and simple!!  But still too late :(

Stamps:  Stampin' Up! - Contempo Christmas
Inks: Memento - Tuxedo Black
Accessories:  Card, reindeer sticker and backing paper - all from stash

You know, it's nice to see that Kathryn is not at all nervous, she's been having a lovely afternoon playing with her Baby Annabel - talking to her baby, feeding her, playing with her.  It's also nice to know that Kathryn is still my LITTLE girl!!

Now, that really is all for today!

I'm glad I'm not the only one making Christmas cards in 'summer'! (not much of a summer just now is it?!) I love that reindeer - he's so ornate! :)

So clever to stick the reindeer onto card stock and cut him out and the backing paper is perfect. Isn't it lovely when our children do proper children's things!
