Patchwork pals

Over two years ago, in a moment of weakness (mmmm another one!) I bought a Patchwork Pals kit from QVC because I thought I would be able to make some quick Christmas cards with it. Well, I didn't use any of it till after a year had gone by and I've still got loads of it, none of which has been used for this year's Christmas cards. So I thought it was about time to use some of it, spurred on by ABC Christmas challenge: U for unused stash'. This time, I remembered to take a picture of the stash before putting the card together, but in the end I also added a matching piece at the back of the card to hide where I'd wrapped the sparkly ribbon (this wasn't part of the PP kit) and also the 'with love' sentiment.

So this is the card:
The piece on the back covers up the ribbon that has been wrapped round.

This is also for:

Alota 69: Christmas
Sparkles forum Christmas challenge 9: Christmas song: Let it snow
Aud sentiments 39: winter theme
Phindy's Friday 78: blue Christmas
Jingle belles: softly falling snow
Ooh-la-la 91: let it snow
Fab's big Christmas: something shiny and/or snowflakes
Southern girls 30: stripes and polka dots
Karen's doodles: animal antics
I did it 77: if I could talk to the animals - I'd tell him it looks as if he's having fun!

    Nice job Hazel. So hard to resist those 'hard sell' artists on QVC!

    Great card Hazel. I had this kit too and in fact a month or so ago I made all the cards to get rid of it as I was fed up seeing it in my trays!! LOL. Hugs, Claire x
