My Favourite Five Christmas Cards of 2014...

Hello...Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! It seemed to whizz by in a flash but we did have a lovely Christmas day spent with my parents...just a shame hubby only had the 2 days off :(

I love joining in with Debby's fun challenge of My Favourite Five Christmas cards which she is kindly hosting again this year...thanks Debby x


It's really great to look back over everyone's favourites!  

Here are mine...did not make that many this year so was not too hard to choose...saying that I have selected 6 as I could not decide which one of Di's adorable mice ones to pick, absolutely love all of Di's images at Di's DigiStamps and feel so lucky to be on her design team :)

Clicking on the link under the card will take you to the original post.





Made about 12 of these in gold and silver also



Off now to link up to Debby's blog and pop by as many of you as poss to see your favourites :)

Thanks for stopping by
