This week's challenge was to make a card inspired by a Christmas Carol. The carol I chose was "Deck the Halls" ! I have wanted to make a "wreath" card for ages but never thought that I had the right stamps to do the job. Then one night, lying awake in bed,thinking about stamping (LOL as you do!!) I suddenly thought of using Trendy trees! Do not ask me why!! (Lol ...Who can cure us of this terrible addiction????) Anyway the next day I tried it and it actually worked-well I am pretty pleased with it anyway. (The card does look better IRL)The berries are made using "Autumn Flair" and I have put some "sparkles" on some of them. The cardstock is Kiwi Kiss and Riding Hood Red and the ink is Encore silver. Please tell me I am not the only one who lies in bed thinking about my next creation!!!

Oh I do that too - especially if I'm stumped - it plays on my mind!!! It's an addiction isn't it?!?!?! LOL
FABULOUS idea for a wreath card though - may be borrowing this little gem sometime!!!

Hi Robyn
Thanks for visiting my blog.
There are so many to find and stumble across aren't there. I think this blogging world is fantastic inspiration.
I love your wreath card - very classy and clever how you have put it all together.
I still have my card to make for this week (trying to be good and get on top of my Christmas card making).
To answer your question. "No". You are not the only one who lies in bed thinking about cardmaking ideas. In fact I am thinking about ideas and designs nearly all the time .. .. .. how sad is that!!!
Love Jules xx
