New August Patterns

I have to admit that with the heatwave that hit europe all of august, I really wasn't in the christmas mood at all, BUT I still managed to get some new Christmas patterns and cards made :)

I didn't make them all typical *christmassy* ones as I prefer patterns that can be used all year round.  Add a few christmas stickers, combine with  Christmas decoupage and there you have a christmas card :)

All these patterns can be purchased  Ann's Paper Art Webshop.

These christmas bells  are my favorite and  most challenging project this month.  The illustration was made by Dejan, a Serbian painter and illustrator.  There is more to come from us :)  I also had a play with some Stencils.  The die that I used on card a663 and this bell card is Nellie's Multiframes MFD028.  The flowers on card a664 and the bells  I made with her new Shape Dies -  Christmas Flowers SD004.  They are sooooooo tiny, but gorgeous and nice to work with.

I can't think of anything witty to write first, so I will let my cards speak for themselves :)
