BASIC GREY CHALLENGE # 9

How can it be that someone like me, a Basic Grey addict!! has never managed up till now to create something for the Basic Grey Challenges? Well....... at last i have :) The challenge this week is Christmas, and having received my first lot of 'Wassail' goodies, i could not wait to get started with them!
Every time BG bring out a new line, and especially the Christmas collection i seem to go into overdrive, i find it so easy to design cards using their fabulous papers and elements, everything is so easy to use and i don't have a problem 'cutting' the papers like i used to! When i first started this blog i just used to get them out and look at them, i had a real problem cutting them up!!! but thankfully that is in the past :)

Anyway..... this design uses papers from the 6 x 6 pad and a couple of pieces from the chip sticker pack( i only ordered one of theses...i may have to get another!) The inner 'pine' wreath was made with my McGill pine punch, which i am loving at the moment! Grosgrain ribbon and jingle bell from stash. (bell originally from John Lewis)

Thanks for visiting today, enjoy your Sunday ;-D
