Merry Christmas with Little Holly!

Good Morning!

Today's card is made using another of my new LOTV stamps, I know she's not from the new collection but she caught my eye when scouring the website a week or so ago and I couldn't resist popping her in my basket lol I have teamed her with some traditional Christmas colours and used last week's LOTV Saturday sketch, except I moved the circular element to the bottom right and replaced it with a straight sentiment.

12 Tags of 2014 ... August (with a twist!)

Good Morning!

I didn't manage to join in with last months tag over at 12 TAGS OF 2014 so I was adamant that I would make sure I did find time to join in for this month's! However I gave it a little twist just as the title suggests and made a card instead of a tag. I also changed the colours and gave it a festive feel as I wanted to use the gorgeous Styled Woodlands stamp set again that Tim released this year.

Okay so as always here is a peek at how Tim's tag looks ...

... and now here is what I came up with!
