Well we're all freezing , we've had snow and hailstones so I think its right ....it must be Christmas!! So come on over and join us at Moving Along with the Times.
Its never to early to make a start on the Christmas Cards so thats what we would like to see from everyone for this weeks challenge.
We are sponsored by Bugaboo who kindly gave us some of their images to play with.
The Prize is a whopping 7 Images from their store (WOW Thats $21 Dollars worth!!!)
Here is my Christmas creation!
This is a gift box / easel card combined (yes yet another easel card!) I made some of these last Christmas. It has a little drawer where you can put a small gift such as jewellery or some sweets or chocolates. you could use the same idea for allsorts of other occasions.

| the tag under the easel |
It makes an ordinary card just a little bit special and so easy to make - just a box with an easel on top and a tag in a pocket at the back of the easel fold. I'll try to get a tutorial together some time.
I really think it will do you all good to rattle out a Christmas card for our challenge this week here's some good reasons why!
- Its one less to do at Christmas
- It'll give you some good cheer
- Its cold enough to pretend its Christmas
- You're bound to have loads of Christmas stash - get it used so you can buy more later in the year!!
Go on over to the MAWTT blog for lots of inspiration from our DT and check out those bugaboo digis
This is what I did ....
(sorry not much detail here as it came out of my Christmas stash box in the drawer under the bed!!)
