Oh, what a gloomy, rainy Sunday it is here in Ottawa - a perfect day for crafting I think! I finished my 2nd Christmas card of the year (whoo hoo!) and I thought I better get my butt in gear and post it since I have not posted in a week. I have noticed that with no DT deadlines to make, the call of the horizontal position on the couch has been quite loud and I have not been crafting as much.
This card was for the October Sketch for You to Try - I found it a bit tricky as I couldn't figure out what bits to stick out from behind my image. After playing around a bit with envelopes, I dug out this Portobello Road postage set that my Mum brought back from England. The postage stamps and the 'happy mail' sentiment really went well with the Lily of the Valley image, and I think it turned out pretty cute. Two Christmas cards down, many more to go!

This is just so cute. I know what you mean about the call of the sofa. It's been calling me a lot lately too!
