Hels how many sheets do you need as I have some double sided Stamping Up 12 x 12 ones I don't need, they are traditional christmas colours. can do a photo. Silly monkey crafts had DCWV Rose Tinted Christmas paper stacks fairly reasonable and some RTC embellies in their sale.

rainmac, I stocked up on embossing powders as I got a second second sentiment printed and embossed with clear powder yesterday. It's on the blog here and also an DCWV embossed paper stack in white for £5.98 and some outline Christmas stickers at 34p each. I made very quick Christmas cards with these last year with the gold on plain white paper. PM me when you've time to get to the bloggie, rainmac.

Hi all!! I haven't been on the net for a while so I hope I'm not too late for the challenge, my card is on my blog which should be in my signature. I'm off to catch up on the thread!!
