A belated Birthday for Hazel

Hello
I am hoping that you are reading this as we are knee deep in Happy Shoppers at the Happy Stampers show at Port Sunlight.
I have always loved this show as it is very friendly and so well organised. They even provide bacon butties for breakfast should the fancy take you!!
This is one of those times when I get the chance to catch up with a few people that I only see here.
Hopefully by the time this goes live I will have had the chance to give the lovely Hazel at Horseshoe Craft her belated birthday card.

I found out some years ago that Hazel's birthday falls on or around the Spring show and mine the Autumn one so we have exchanged cards for some time now.

I hope that she likes it.
I am travelling home as soon as the show finishes and we are packed away so I am in for a VERY long day.
Still it will be worth it. Whatever happens I will have had a good time, I love demoing.
Back to normal tomorrow.
hugs Kimx

Snowflakes at 52 (Christmas) Card Throwdown

Evening All
The Theme challenge this week over at 52(Christmas) Card Throwdown is Snowflakes.
As you know I have been making Christmas cards this weekend, so this is one of them which included some snowflakes embossed with Stampendous Frantage Aged Gold Embossing Enamel which I bought at SirStampalot.

The snowflake stamp is also an old design from Stampendous M122 Snow Swirl which I bought on Saturday at Davina's. I'm sure that I probably have this stamp somewhere but as she has 50% off all of her wood mounted stamps at the moment it was easier to buy it than spend hours wading through my stash.
How naughty is that!! Still I will find it a good home if I do discover that I already have it, so someone will benefit.

The mouse on the bauble is an image from my stash but is by Great Impressions and is called Franklin Hanging On.
I used it for a magazine article some years ago but it has remained a favourite of mine. It is available from Horseshoe Craft.

The card base is made using a combination of scalloped and plain circles cut using Grand and regular size nesties. I sponged a little Stormy Sky distress ink around the edges of the white card.

I hope that you like it and that maybe you will be inspired to make a couple of Christmas cards to add to your   stash for this year.

I would like to enter this into a couple of other challenges
