It's Finally Here ... It's Christmas Eve!

Good Morning!
I can't believe it's arrived already, it's Christmas Eve! 
I know I've said it a lot throughout the year but I really can't believe how fast time has gone by this year! If you team that with work and other commitments outside of that the chances to sit and craft have been sparce! So I apologise for the poor amount of creations this year.

Today's card was unplanned as I only made it yesterday morning, after having this stamp for months I'd finally got the chance to ink it up!
