Good morning all. I hope you are all enjoying this lovely weather are having especially as it may not last long!

It's Tuesday and that means it is time for another challenge over at My Time To Craft and this fortnight we have been set the challenge of 'Christmas In August'. Would you believe this is my very first Christmas card for the year, how bad is that? I really need to get a move on with some more. 
I don't normally go for the pastel colours but have seen so many of them just lately and brought this paper pack whilst at Doncaster and really like how it turned out.

Sorry this photo is rubbish, I don't know why it looks so bad and blurry on here it looks fine on Picasa.
