Don't know about you but i never seem to be organised for christmas so this weeks challenge theme of 'quick and easy christmas cards'was tailormade for me and these were quick and easy even with adding an insert they only took 10 minutes each.
This is our last challenge of the year so there is 3 weeks to enter it,thankyou all for taking part in our challenges and i want to wish you all a merry christmas and happy new year

quick and easy male card

I find male cards the hardest to make and for teenagers/young men must be the most difficult so i paniced when i had to make one for my grandson i just threw this together in about 10 minutes but i am pleased with it,not to fussy but colourful enough to stand out amongst the christmas cards

Anniversary card

I try not to say doesn't time seem to go so fast but must admit finding it hard to believe it is a year ago that my daughter got married,seems only a few months so seeing as paper is the first anniversary gift as well as a gift proper i thought i would make the a scrapbook style card that they could pop in a frame after
