Mojo Monday Poinsettia


I managed to make a couple of CAS cards this week but I'm showing them as separately as I'm running out of draft cards to post and I'm away from today for the weekend. This way I get to post each day.
This card was using the sketch from Mojo Monday although I cheated with the bottom layer rather than four strips I used the patterned stripes that I always get left in the pack. This one is from Authentique Christmas paper.
I then used the Holly Leaves from Penny Black and the Simon Says Stamps Poinsettia dies. Just a few gems then. The sentiment is also from Simon Says Stamps.
Thinking now that maybe I've cheated a bit too much to enter but  I'm still please with the finished card although the gem stop it going cheaper post.
My craft bags are packed they're really heavy too thank goodness Hubby is taking me to the Scrapbooking Retreat tonight. I haven't packed my pjs or toothbrush yet though got to get my priorities right. Today I shall schedule a few posts including Monday where I'm off to London for a bit of lunch with some lovely girl friends.
