My Favourite 5 Christmas Cards of 2022!

 Good Evening!
I hope you have all had a wonderful Christmas and are looking towards the New Year! Unfortunately mine hasn't gone to plan this past week as I caught the dreaded lurgy the week leading up to Christmas and ended up with a chest infection from Boxing Day onwards ...
Today's post was supposed to have been wrote and shared days ago but I just didn't feel well enough until now to get it sorted. Here's hoping now that I've got some antibiotics in my system though that I'm on the mend!

First up is a dinky 3x3 Christmas card using one of the designs released this year by LOTV. If any of you watch Create & Craft TV you might've spotted this card along with one of my others on there too!
Another image by LOTV, this time released a few years ago using one of my favourite colour schemes for Christmas, Gold!
Halfway through the year I was transferring all of my Digi's from my old laptop to my current one and this is one of the designs I came across. Unfortunately the company are no longer running, I loved their designs!
Next up is another card using a digi from the same retired company, Mel Jens Designs.
Last up is one of my recent Christmas cards using a classic Penny Black sentiment stamp as the focal point, this time using a darker gold scheme.

I'l be sharing my favourite non Christmas creations from this year with you all in the next day or so, why don't you join in? It's always nice having a look back at the things you've made.
HAPPY CRAFTING!

The perfect theme for any of you who still have some Christmas cards left to make, or even start! lol This month I have used a sentiment from one of the T-Sets released a few years ago as my main image and paired it with some Maja Design Papers that I treated myself to a few weeks ago. I simply can't resist their range of papers!
