I'm back with another Christmas card! When I saw the gorgeous sketch over at A spoon full of sugar I just HAD to play along, and considering I whipped out my trusty Christmas Tilda I thought I would get a little distressed and enter this over at Magnolia Down Under too (I hope they don't mind that I'm back with a second card). The second challenge at Creative Craft Challenges is Christmas fun and, because I am nuts, I just love wrapping presents, so what could be more fun for me than this image! I am quickly learning that all the silly little things I love about Christmas time are the parts everyone else hates and stresses over, like I said, I'm nuts. I love all the baking and planning and I have never met another person who enjoys gift wrapping so if your out there let me know! Today the fabulously talented Susie Sugar has started her own Susie's Sassy Challenge with a challenge of Christmas, and I think I might be the first entrant in the new challenge, yippi! The fabulous papers I have used are all from Summertime Designs and I am in love with them, they have just brought out a winter kit to die for. The red card stock is from my stash, along with the metal snowflake charm. I have punched out some small snowflakes and glittered them up. I feel like there is something missing with this card, can't quite put my finger on it though, it's probably the lack of ribbons, lace and crystals, hahaha :)

Well, add me into the jar of nuts because I LOVE wrapping presents!! It is all about the presentation, I love the folding and taping and then picking out ribbons, bows and a tag... Yep, it's the paper!! As a kid, I used to carefully lift the tape up so I could preserve the paper!! I had even gotten caught REWRAPPING presents. I know, right? I just took nuts to a whole different level, lol.
Your card is beautiful, I am glad to see Tilda is on our side with the present wrapping situation, lol!! I am glad you've come back to share with us again!! And I hope to see you next time around as well, maybe a couple of times, lol!!

Ugh I hate wrapping presents, lol. I love using gift bags and doing them up etc, stamping, a Kraft bag mind you not an already decorated one, lol that would be too much, hahaha. This is absolutely amazing, I just adore it Fran. Gorgeous card, thanks so much for playing along and joining us at Magnolia Down Under Challenges. Hope to see you back again next challenge. xx

Hi Fran,
This is just gorgeous! I love how you have layered Tilda. It looks fantastic! I do like wrapping presents if you have the right equipment - bows, paper etc. I used to gift-wrap presents at the chemists I worked at while I was at school and uni. They had so much to choose from..different papers and ribbons..it was fun! I loved it at Christmas time!

I am another nut and love gift wrapping, provided I have not left it to the last minute. Thanks for joining us at Magnolia Down Under Distressing Challenge and hope to see you again next time. PS your Twin Boys are so cute. Hugs Jodie from Oz
