Happy Sunday to you all. March at last and, as the old saying goes, it's coming in like a lion! Enough of the weather, there's just too much of it at the moment! Instead, a much cheerier subject is today's Christmas Card Club challenge. The theme of postbox/mailbox has been set for us by Valery Anne - a tricky one for me as I don't have any suitable stamps. I think I might have a digital one saved on a disc somewhere but goodness knows where. Not to worry, my box of tricks came up trumps and I have several cards to share - the toppers of the first two were made by recycling old cards saved from Christmases past.
I'm not sure the images on the following cards count towards the theme but image of a robin delivering a card on the old Christmas Animals LOTV toppers is, I think, almost there.
All the patterned papers I've used for the backgrounds came from my stash of ancient paper packs. I have no intention of purchasing any new packs until I have made a huge dent in what there is already. Besides, they are all too pretty to be left neglected and forgotten.
These six cards bring my total to sixteen so far this year - not bad considering it's only the first day of March!
I hope you will pop over to see what my teammates have created this week. You'll find a list of their names and links on my right sidebar - as always they are so much more creative than I will ever be.

Well my dear friend, you have been on a roll with such beautiful cards. I only had one stamp of a pillarbox so that's what I used. Hopefully the weather will soon improve as I haven't been anywhere much at all. My new roses are starting to show their leaves now, so hope I look after them properly. Hugs Rita xxxx
Hi Elizabeth, loving the cards. The robin delivering letters is so cute. I'm with you, trying to use up stash I've had for years, I too have no intention of buying any more paper packs- it'll take me years to use what I have! Hugs, Shaz X
