And in the rear view mirror!

Good morning everyone

I'm here to rectify an omission - I was very late with my card for Sweet Stampin' and thought I'd have a moment to do the accompanying catch-up post but - guess what - nope!

So here I am post Christmas Day, taking a moment to have a sit and do my blogging.  As you are no doubt aware the challenge theme is 'Christmas' and, to give everyone a festive break, this challenge runs right round until 2nd January 2026.

This is my card, apologies if it's not 100% sharp I'm working on a new laptop (that was my Christmas present!) and I've had to borrow my own image from the blog as I've not transferred everything over yet:

Supplies used:

Digital stamp:

Set of 'Gingerbread kittens' pre-coloured images from an Etsy seller

Rubber stamp:

Creative Expressions - Festive Wishes (sentiment)

Dies:

unbranded stitched rectangles

Pretty Pink Posh - Scallop Borders 1

Anything else:

Red glitter card

extremely old 'Create and Craft' (anyone remember them?) Rhinestone decals

Hot Off The Press - Forever Christmas Cards paper stack

And that's it folks.

All that remains is to say - to whoever might be left watching my bog - I hope your Christmas was whatever you hoped it would be and brought some joy and peace into your day.

I will be back in January (2026 - gulp!) and am determined to do better next year with keeping up with challenges and posting cards.  Plus getting back into Instagram as well, I don't think I've posted more than 6 times there this year!

So with all best wishes for the New Year, signing off until 2026
