James the Bear's Christmas Tree!

Good Afternoon!
Incase you are wondering why today's post is quite late it's because I've quite simply only just made it! I didn't have anything ready to share today but I received this gorgeous new LOTV stamp yesterday in the post and couldn't wait to have a play with him today! I loved the James the Bear stamps that came out a while ago at LOTV and last weekend they launched a few more. I have also used some old Christmas papers that I found last week whilst re-arranging my craft room!

I do have to say a massive thank you to my crafty friend TINA though as she very kindly got me this stamp as a gift. It was such a lovely surprise from her and was just what I needed to make me smile!
