Jingle Bells

Hi all wow what a cold frosty morning we woke up to, the sun is now shining but very cold, much better than all the rain we have had the last week or two.

Today starts a new Challenge at Crafty Cardmakers and More this fortnight Lin is hosting , the theme is distress it, we would love you to join in I am looking forward to seeing all your wonderful creations.
