Well it feels like the last few months have been a blur. I'm sharing the first card that I've made since August and I am feeling a little rusty to say the least! To get my mojo flowing I decided to use one of my favourite characters (James the bear) and some of my favourite papers from Nitwit Collections. I've loved their papers since LOTV created some printed versions, but sadly most of my pads are used and I'm reliant on the digital versions. Their papers are so beautiful and there are so many pretty papers (I must have hundreds of them) and they're my go-to papers when I need some creative motivation. I've even paper-pieced the heart in James' arms to match the background.

Lee Holland's little snowy critters are some of my favourite images for a Christmas card. This little mouse on his tree branch sniffing at the snow is adorable.

Today's creations are some festive Christmas cards made using my Silhouette. I've used one of my favourite NitWit Collections paper pads in 2 lilac patterns. I've adapted the cutting files a little to adapt them into side-fold shaped cards.
