I am so glad I discovered perforated paper as it has given me a chance to combine cross stitch with card making. I used a free pattern from Durene Jones Facebook page, fussy cut the image and attached using strong glue. The papers are First Edition Perfect Christmas. I used a cross stitch circle die and some ribbon from Crafty Ribbons. The poinsettias are from Hobbycraft and I used a Spectrum Noir clear sparkle pen on them. I made this for our line dancing teacher as I knew she would appreciate it as she is also a crafter but she sews mainly bags.
Our new sofa is arriving this afternoon which is exciting. So pleased it will be here for Christmas. We should be going to a little party at Prima Rosa this afternoon (the tesahop/gift shop where I sell some things) but it depends on the time of the sofa delivery.
I hope you are all organised. I like to leave the present wrapping until near Christmas so that is the plan for tomorrow. We have bought most of the food and drink, just mainly fresh items to get on Monday.
