Bah humbug was my salvation last year - I actually ended up with a few spare cards, almost unheard-of before, although I have to admit to buying some charity ones for general use. Unfortunately for me, Ann and Max have decided to have a well-deserved break - then (thanks to Val) I discovered a similar new blog here, so I shall still have something to push me into making Christmas cards...............
Anyhow, this was using up one of the housemouse images I had already cut out but not used - otherwise I would only lose the bits! I thought that this would also make a nice New Year card. Very simply matted onto green and gold, then onto a card blank covered with holly paper from the Artylicious Seasons greetings cd (from Chocolate Baroque)- and a new year resolution is to buy a new blade for the paper trimmer, as the current one seems to be catching................
House Mouse can always be relied upon to make a lovely card - which this one is and I reckon you were wise to use the pieces you'd cut out - I would lose them too if they were mine and I put them into a 'safe place'!! It was lucky we found another Christmas challenge site because Bah Humbug helped me to have plenty of cards for a couple of years but I'm sure Ann and Max will enjoy their well earned rest.
