I forgot to mention on my last post that I had a wonderful candy giveaway win from Vicky's blog-http://stickywithicky.blogspot.co.uk/ . Vicky did a 10km run to raise money for Cancer Research and has a link there where you can donate as well. We all know someone who has been affected by cancer so why not visit her fabulous blog and make a donation whilst you're there.
My MS is misbehaving again at the moment as is Blogger on my tablet so I haven't been crafting as much or commenting on your blogs. Blogger will work for a short while and then tell me I'm not following any blogs! I will comment on your blogs if it will let me.
Anyway I've finally made my first Christmas card, Yay! Took me ages to do the layout and then as I was gluing the different layers I kept sticking things in the wrong place. So I hope you like my card although I'm on the fence about if I like it or not.
Lots of LOTV products used on this card

Hi, Debra. What a lovely card, the colours are a refreshing choice to the traditional red and green at Christmas. The flowers and lace are really pretty and the Noel heart just finishes the arrangement wonderfully. Congratulations on winning the Candy and I hope you are OK. Sally D.x.
