This week's card is a Fancy Fold - Side Step Card. It is one I made last year but I thought I'd share it again as I haven't had a chance to make a new card this week with preparations for a class and the extravaganza taking up most of my week. Once again the design is from Splitcoaststampers.

Cardstock: Marina Mist, Whisper White.Stamp sets: Delightful Decorations, Many Merry Messages.Inks: Marina Mist, Old Olive, Real Red.Accessories: Scallop Lace border punch, ornament punch, red rhinestones (non SU).

If there is any stock that you need to make your Christmas cards, please contact me and I can have your order shipped directly to you. Stampin' Up's shipment time is really quick, so let me know if you'd like to place an order.

Farewell my little Beetle

Photo 2005 - Farewell my little beetle. You have been a great car and I am very sad to say goodbye. Sooo many trips to Homebush for swimming, you know the way so well, so many trips to dancing lessons you have looked after my little dancer beautifully. We will all miss you very much but now it's time for a practical car to help get my dear old Dad and Mum to medical appointments.
2011, my beetle with her sweet mag wheels.
