I woke up early Saturday morning with a really sore throat and have felt pretty poorly all weekend. Saturday night when I really needed a good sleep I had the worst night I have had for a long time. The longest I slept at a time was 40 minutes. I have scheduled this post so hope I am feeling a bit better today.
I just love this Sugar Nellie image from Elisabeth Bell entitled Snowflake. This is my first Christmas card for 2013 and there will be more every month I promise you. I need to make a lot of them as I send only handmade cards and also sell a lot. This one will definitely be for me to send as I love the delicate colours and if I don't start on saving a few for me then my box will be empty come December.
She has been coloured with Promarkers and Flexmarkers and I've used a Sakura clearstar pen for the spots and snowflakes and added a little Stickles for snow. The backing paper was a freebie, the others are The Snowman. Did you see The Snowman and The Snowdog at Christmas? I absolutely loved it and recorded it so I can watch it again. Oops, back to my card. The tree and snowflake were cut with Marianne dies and the border with an MB die.

Gorgeous card, so pretty and delicate. Hope you are feeling better today. I had it just before Christmas and couldn't sleep. Got some Night Nurse and that was brilliant - got a good nights sleep.
Get well soon.

Hello Marianne,
Hope you are feeling better today.
Your card is gorgeous, loving those colours and beautiful dies.
I really should keep doing Christmas cards too, but not made any this year yet..
Hugs Kelly
This is beautiful Marianne. Like you I send only handmade card - more than 80 - and also make some for my sister and a few friends. My resolution for 2013 is to start extremely early and maybe make a couple a week. I have a friend who does all hers in January then forgets about Christmas!! Don't think I'll go that far!! Love from Christine x
Morning sweetie, Wowzers a stunning creation, huggles Pops x x x
