Christmas Stuff

Yesterday I made my cards and gift tags in preparation for Christmas. I'll just gloss over the fact that I haven't done any shopping or making of actual gifts yet.  Since I started this blog four years ago (I can hardly believe that it's been that long), I have stuck with the same simple and classic colour scheme of red, white and linen for all things Christmassy.   I mulled the possibility of switching things up a bit for some time before cutting, stamping and gluing this year's cards.

But it wasn't to be. 

Red and white, I'm still not over you.

Oh, your cards are lovely!

I love red, white and natural too. Have begun shopping, and I vowed this year to wrap as I bought. But I can't quite commit to a wrapping theme (because I'm anal enough to want them all to match). But you may just have won me over. Kraft paper, here I come!

I'm another who thinks you can't top red and white at christmas. Your cards and gift tags are gorgeous and I'm so impressed at your organisation, I've yet to start any preparations!

Hi Kim...it works when I click on it, so I don't think there is a problem with the link. However you could try this link which should get you there:

Then you just need to click on "next" for the next step!

Any problems, please let me know!

It's kraft paper and newspaper here! I try and save the cartoon sections when I can! I'm impressed that you have a wrapping theme!

Good challenge. I would love to be able to crochet snowflakes...would you be interested in a little swap perhaps?

Red and white is such a perfect Christmas combination. I'm feeling very festive already this year:)

Why change it if it works. I love your cards, classic and simple just what I prefer!

I absolutely LOVE the cards.. and red and white is a favourite with me too.. you really can't go wrong with the classics.
I'm taking part in a charity Christmas House Tour this year and my kit/break/family room will all be red and white..
In fact I should get off my backside and go and finish the tree in the living room.. I've only got 3 more days..
