Robin my Christmas friend

Evening everyone,

Hope you are all well and happy. A massive thank you to everyone who takes the time to visit my blog and comment it means the world to me.

Here is my first card for today and I have to say that Robins are my favourite thing about winter,I love it when I spot a robin in the garden,havent spotted one this year so far.

The image on this card is so cute,it has been decoupage which I love to do. Got the image in some lovely blog candy I was lucky to win from kelly's cards,thanks kelly. I have added glitter around the edges of the snow.

The Christmas paper is from a set that came free from a magazine last year. I added a ribbon bow and attached a silver tree charm to the bow. Added sentiments to finish the card off.
