Good morning crafters 

How are you all today? good I hope.

The last couple of days I've had blog problems and I've not been able to get on here until last night, it seems Shabby blogs have some sort of malicious virus and it's affected a lot of us who have had any of their blinkies or backgrounds, so I deleted some blinkies and all is well again in the craftingallday household, thankfully :o)

Todays card you may think is a bit plain for me but in between making cards I like to throw in a few quickie Christmas cards so I don't have so much to do when the time approaches.

I've used Maja papers for this one along with this lovely sentiment, 

the pretty blue lace was from Walmart 

gorgeous white lace from Websters pages 

 couple of glittery snowflakes & a snowflake charm

Challenges;

Cardabilities ~ Sketch

ABC Christmas ~ Icy Inspiration

Christmas Inspirations ~ Bingo ~White sentiment & layers

Thanks for looking and for your lovely comments

see you over at your place later :o)

have a great weekend.
