I know that lots of you have already started on your Christmas cards for this year and I must admit I am beginning to feel in the festive mood....I so love this gorgeous Penny Black image and I'm sure I will be using it for lots of my personal Christmas cards with ...my favourite colour combo at the moment...blue and red and I'd forgotten how beautiful this snowflake is stamped onto acetate with Staz On White.....but you need to hot foot it over to Penny Black Saturday right now to see the fabulous Christmas cards from our super talented design team.....they never fail to amaze me every week with their gorgeous work but this week they completely blew my socks off ....and believe me there was lots of ooohing and aaaahing when I was uploading their cards for this week's post....so thank you girls for all the hard work you put in each and every week to come up with such amazing cards....with a little help of course from the gorgeous Penny Black images....I may be a little biased...but nobody does Christmas like Penny Black........
and Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without a snowman.....

Oops.....how naughty of me.....I knew there was something else I had to do today....but couldn't for the life of me remember what it was....oh this is becoming a bit of a worry...the old memory is beginning to head south just like the body.....I forgot to thank my lovely teamie Pauline for this fab award...in fact she awarded it to the whole Penny Black team who are just the nicest bunch of girls and perhaps one day we will get the chance to meet up.....so a big thank you Pauline for thinking of me.....
