A Calendar Christmas Card...

I made it for our dear neighbours Margaret and Arthur. Margaret always looks after Sukie when we are away and I helped Arthur to start making cards a few years ago. He makes the most wonderful 3D decoupages... We are so lucky to have such lovely neighbours !


The papers are from Prima ("Almanach" Collection) and the stamped image is from H and S.
My calendar card will enter the challenges :
- "Make A Christmas Gift for your Dearest Neighbours" with Elke Kaart Een Feestje,
- "Anything Goes" with Everybody Art Challenge,
- "Use your Favourite Die/Punch" with ABC Christmas Challenge (It has to be the Spellbinders oval frame)
and the challenge with Tuesday Morning Sketches as I have used their sketch to make my card and used non traditional Christmas colours as it was asked... 

Happy Crafting !
