The Olympics start today...

...but I'm still making Christmas cards.

August 5 2016 and the games open in Rio - a very different location to the games in London four years ago. We had some lovely weather (and the usual British "wet") in 2012 but temperatures then were nothing to compare with what folk will experience over in Rio. It will be HOT !!!

So to cool everyone down, I'm sharing some snowy creations that I've added to my pile of Crimbo cards.

Craft Creations have released some lovely Christmas toppers and they also have this card kit...
 ...which includes 4 card blanks but loads more stuff too. Allowing you to make more than four.
The kit has 8 printed aperture designs which are all foiled...
...even after making your four as the pack shows, you still have four left to play with.
The central design uses a topper behind the aperture...
...and there are decoupage pieces to enhance the topper which you can use as intended or keep these for use elsewhere. There are also a good selection of sentiments.

With the use of some additional CS and a little planning, 4 can easily become 12. So you could add to your Christmas card stock without too much effort - always handy when time is at a premium. Kits can be a good starting point (especially if Mr Mojo is still off on his holidays) and you can adapt them to suit your needs and have a play around with them to suit your style.

Cool down with some Christmas crafting whilst you catch up on all the heated activity over in Rio..................................................................

The images are so, so cute, I just love them! I wish I could turn my mind to Christmas cards, I feel it is going to be another rush this year....

I am so looking forward to the Olympics, just wish there was not such a huge time difference. xxx
