Yep Monday was my birthday & not just any ol' birthday, I was 50 (I still can't believe I'm THAT old lol) & I felt the need to get away from it all so hubby & I spent a few days at Hazlewood Castle in Yorkshire which was wonderful & very relaxing which was just what we needed as we've both had a lot of stress at work lately. I did have the weekend before celebrating with my eldest son Craig & our 3 grandchildren who came up from Kent & also a meal with my youngest son Stuart & his girlfriend Hannah on my birthday (they missed the weekend celebrations cos they were on holiday). So all in all it has been a pretty good week & I don't feel 50 (& it IS just a number anyway right). I got lots of fab pressies, including crafty stash (of course).

Enough rambling, on to my card for the Jellypark Friends challenge which is late but as above I have a good reason ;o) The theme is "The Sentiment is Key" & the image I used is part of the Christmas Bundle Set which if you're a member of the Jellypark Club you can get for only £6 (normal price £10). I coloured Santa with ProMarkers & used Liquid Pearls for his beard & a pompom on his hat. The papers are from Dovecraft & I finished with a ribbon, gems & die cut Poinsettia & Christmas tree border. There are also fab new releases at Jellypark too.
The challenges:
Christmas Stampin' All Year Long - Anything Goes
52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown - Christmas Trees
I Love ProMarkers - Anything Goes

Christmas at Sweet Stampin' - Anything Goes
