Christmas waves a magic wand

I wasn't going to do any crafting today, but couldn't resist making a quick card. As it's my birthday we've had pizza delivered, with garlic bread and potato wedges and we had some wine ... and now I'm full! Just having a bit of a break before settling down to watch Casualty. We were going to go out, but things have been topsy turvy here this week because we're having our bath replaced with a shower unit and there were some unexpected hitches with the work- hoping they will finish it by Monday or Tuesday.

Anyway, back to the card. I chose a quote topper that was part of a QVC kit a couple of years ago - this is for ABC Christmas: Q for quote plus an image (hope the squares count).

The background paper and square motifs in the corners were from a magazine from a Nancy Watts collection.

This is another card for my CHNC challenge 34.

I used the sketch for Corrosive 129:

Colours are for Jay Gee's nook challenge 10: photo inspiration:
