Today I thought I would do a quick post to wish everyone a very happy Christmas break. I hope we can all forget our troubles for a few days and just relax and enjoy family life.
I do have a couple of cards to share. These are ones that I hand painted earlier this year following a tutorial by Sharone Stevens. I love her style and she is such a good teacher.
I am linking my gingerbread man up to Christmas Kickstart #57, thanks Jo for all your work on this challenge and for inviting me to be your guest elf in August. It was such a pleasure and has taught me not to be afraid to make Christmas cards out of season.
My penguin is being linked to Christmas Card Throwdown pick a previous 2021 challenge. I have picked the August theme challenge which was birds.
Thanks so much for all the visits to my humble blog over the past year, it has been a pleasure and I have learnt so much from everyone. I am looking forward to seeing all the amazing creativity that comes my way in 2022, let's hope it proves to be a good year for everyone.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today, I really appreciate it.

Two gorgeous cards, Hilary, but I LOVE your handpainted gingerbread man. Thanks for being my elf earlier in the year and for playing so many times at Christmas Kickstart, Jo x
Well done painting these, you did a great job. Cute penguin and love the shading on the gingerbread man. Hope you’re having an enjoyable Christmas time.
Splendidly charming holiday season greetings - made all the more so by the fact that you hand-painted their focal images yourself. You have a real knack for painting, my friend!

Thanks for taking the time to be a big part of the CAS Mix Up team. Love working with you. Love, Loll
