On No the "C" Word

 Morning and 1st of the second half of the month?????? I have two DT posts today the second one for the Christmas challenge at Pearly Sparkles.

It's been sooo hot my Christmas mojo was nil and I have another tomorrow=so went looking through my stamps and found some circle ones from Chocolate Baroque so both similar(not sorry at all lol)

The images were coloured with promarkers and added glossy accents,the dies from Spellibinders and I added distress inks whilst still in the die,P.paper is Evening Blooms from The Paper Boutique.

Lovely colouring and a gorgeous Christmas image. ‘C’ cards very much on the back burner here at the moment. Mojo has gone walkabout.

I know what you mean about Christmas mojo. I actually made a few very early in the year and then nothing. I always struggle to make them out of season. I don't think you need to worry about this one, it is perfectly lovely xx

Really gorgeous and you are making some progress with Christmas cards. No heat on our Oregon coast, but plenty of wind. Typical July. I need to water the garden, but it's hard to say where the water will wind up.
