Christmas in May?!

Hello lovely people,

It's time for a new challenge at As You Like It and our theme this time is...

YOUR FAVOURITE...PATTERNED OR EMBOSSED PAPER
...and don't forget to tell us why it's your favourite!

Our sponsor this time is All Dressed Up with 2 digi images of the winner's choice

Well this has to be the earliest I have ever made a Christmas card!

I was aiming for a shabby chic / Nordic style for this design so these yummy Maja papers were just the thing and I love how they even include little sentiment strips.

This image is so sweet and I've added a touch of sparkle to the furry details.

I love arranging flowers round a circular image as it's so easy to do and looks so pretty especially with a charm dangling at one end, and this teeny pine cone is pretty darn cute!
