More snow and beatrix potter

extra snow with peel off waste and a little metal santa charm

mmmm...chocolate cake = love
Here's a couple of cards I finished yesterday but didn't get around to posting.  I'm going to share them for  A Card a Day Blogging.  I had done the cards a few weeks ago, and they are similar to my previous beatrix potter efforts.  I had set them aside as I felt they needed a little something to make them different.

Yesterday, I had a dig around in one of my little boxes and found these christmas metal charms. I added them with a little butcher's twine.

Update: Mr Fantabulous Mayhem and I had a super night at a friend's house on Saturday night.  Good friends really do make such a difference in life.  I am all set for a busy week ahead.  I now have a new working printer which means I can do a whole lot of new projects.  I'm all excited.  I've got a technical challenge too, I've been asked to make some personalised Christmas cards that are flat for posting.  It'll be a challenge for me as I do so like to add 'extra bits', but I have got a few ideas to add faux embellishments but I will need to try to get the computer-ma-bob to do what I want it to.  So watch this space...

Now for a cup of tea and getting on with all those fun new projects..

    Lovely cards, I especially like the colours you've used. Peel off waste? That's an oxymoron if ever I heard one LOL xxx

    They are both fab but I especially like the first one - that gingham background really makes it work so beautifully
