I love that sheep Kathy which does look a bit bored with it all, and the rather needleless tree..lol, and then the pretty wild flower stems with the stencilled circles which look great in the background, and super use of snippets too. x
Great fun Christmas card, and you get well card is really pretty with lovely stencilling.

Baa haaa haaa! Love the image and the matching punny sentiment. So awesome! The sparkle on the sheep's Santa hat is the perfect way to add some sparkle. Thanks for joining us at Happy Little Stampers ~ Christmas Challenge.
