Christmas 3

Hi everyone
The last week has been full on with work .  I got to go and work amongst good live music, gorgeous flowers and have the best yeast donuts for breakkie.  So finding out I won the challenge over at http://especiallymade.blogspot.com.au/  using 3 specific items.  Woohooo I'm feel so honoured considering all those wonderful cards that were entered.

Here's a card I've made for http://especiallymade.blogspot.com.au/2012/09/gatefold-card-challenge.html
I've not made a gate card in years so it was a gr8 challenge to think of what I could bring to the table.  I've dug around in the old drawer and found a very old Magenta Christmas Stamp Set (special edtion).
