Christmas Poem

 Hello Everyone, I hope you are in good spirits? I think you will, if, you read through my post, at least I hope you will!

I have finished and posted all my cards, however I have received a few that weren't on my list, so back to it again! Pressies are mostly done, I hope!

Anyhow on to why you are here.

My card is one, that on a day I had no mojo, was busy and had to get a couple of Christmas cards done, I decided to go to my Silhouette files and I decided to do this, it was just cut the card, add a white card layer behind the cut image, then add silver glitter, a few gems and they were done. I certainly helped with mojo too.

Ornament card - Silhouette Design Store
glitter - Nuvo Pure Sheen silver
gems - stash


Now on to something I think you will like and have a chuckle at. Last year I had a few poems by Gill Reed, my SiL's Sister, she has a gift of putting words together and recently my SiL sent me this of Gill's. I love it and I added a few images and a  gradient, to help show it off which I hope Gill will approve of, I have asked if I could share it with you. Please enjoy. 

If you want to see the rest of Gills poems, you should be able to see them by clicking on her name in the label links at the end of this post.
