Good Morning ladies,

You have no idea how amazed I was to see so many challenge Cards despite the fact that you have all been either poorly or crazy busy with Christmas preparations.

Once again we have a huge range of cards, different styles for different occasions but all 'Aperture' cards.  

Brenda  I love how you have used the fantastic star die, it works so well as a 3 D feature on your card, the colours you have chosen work perfectly with it too, that holographic mirror card gives the card real Christmas Sparkle, thank you so much xxx

Cheryl, very clever idea using the aperture to represent a Christmas bauble, I like the Embossing folder you have used and the backing paper too.  I look forward to adding 

More of your Christmas cards, thank you xxx

Janet, Two stunning floral aperture cards, so beautiful, and a fabulous Christmas bauble card too, all so different, all amazing, thank you so much Janet for taking part,

I know you have been battling that horrible chest infection, please get well soon xxx

Karen, wow, you have totally, 100% changed my mind on that 'Happy' die set, your card is just perfect for a Man's 40th Birthday, there is no need to beer or football, which most men aren't that fussed about anyway!  The stars give the card that extra celebratory touch with it being for a 40th birthday, a brilliant design, I really want that die set now!  

Your second card is a fantastic Christmas card, three apertures with a pretty snowflake in each, all that's needed is that sentiment!  Thank you so much for taking part xxx

Lilian, you have used one of my favourite stamps 'Lovely as a Tree' to create a Winter scene for your card, the crisp blue sky behind the trees, the frost sparkling on the branches. A pretty silver peel off finishes your aperture, a few pretty sparkles pickibg out the detail in your embossed card front.  Thank you so much for takibg part xxx

Michele, I haven't seen one of these 'pop up' style 'Aperture' cards for a long time, perfect for Christmas cards as it folds flat to keep postage costs down, it pops straight up once removed from the envelope, giving the 'wow' factor, I live the colour you have used too, thank you so much for taking part xxx

Pat, three fantastic Christmas aperture cards from you, all , stunning, I love the die you used for the aperture and that you have stamped each card front yourself, so everything matches, thank you so much for taking part Pat xxx

Val, I love your Valentine card, I think you have used "that special touch"  Heart Mask, a fab heart die for your aperture, some beautiful gems, all topped off with a stunning red satin bow!  Thank you so much for taking part xxx

Margaret, I know you were run off of your feet this week  so I looked in my files and found a perfect aperture card, a beautiful cross stitched pansy, I absolutely adore your Cross stitched cards, last years Christmas card will be coming out again this year as decoration, thank you for always making time for Challenges xxx

Lynda, I know you wouldn't have managed a card this week, so I have chosen one for you, I loved this card that you made using Sue Wilson's Snow Globe die set, I live the scene you have created inside the globe.  Thank you Lynda for the many cards you have created for these challenges, I hope you are feeling strong enough to get into your craft room, I get it has never looked so tidy ! Haha xxx

Have a lovely Sunday ladies, I think we are off to choose a Christmas Tree!

Love and hugs to all,

Sandra
