Good Morning Peeps, seems winter is well and truly here now in the UK, it's been raining and dull for days and now the dreaded frosts have arrived so really it's the prefect opportunity to craft and as stamping is still proving difficult for Mrs Fumblefingers I have concentrated on working with Ignacio's latest releases and thought I would share a few, the Oriental ones further down in particular are lovely and a little different for Christmas.
Also Iganico has very kindly given me a freebie for you all to download (below), it's a famous illustration from 1921 by C. Leyendecker.....I've never offered an image before so not sure how it will download, so if you have any problems just mail me and I will send it to you that way.
As you can see Igancio has worked his magic again with my photos and added names of the image sheets and you will find direct links to all in the thumbnails below.
And a couple more, I kept them all fairy simple as the images are beautifully detailed and I thought too much embellishment would distract from them.....................
Thanks for popping in and I hope you enjoy using the image above.

Hi Brenda, loved those Japanese Christmas cards, fabulous creations;-))m
A lovely selectiion of cards Brenda. Really like the Oriental ones. Such beautiful images. It sounds daft but I miss those heavy frosts you get on the fens. I used to love it when I woke up to a garden laced with hoar frost. So beautiful.

Beautiful cards Brenda, just enough embellishments to bring out the gorgeous images. Thanks for the freebie. We have had three days of beautiful sunshine, Sunday, Tuesday and today but it's clouding over now and getting a little chillier. Enjoy your day.
