Favourite Shape - No Contest

Thank you for all the lovely entries we have had on JFF for my themes.  The last one, Techniques, was a bit lower on numbers but we had some super work.  Well, this week is my last one with the theme of "Favourites" (and I think I hear you all cheering) and it is "Shape".  Not much of a problem here if I think about my favourite Nestability Shape from Spellbinders.  I just "love" Labels Four.  If you check back in my blog you will see it is used so many times and if you come to see me doing a demo for Oyster Stamps you will see I use the Grand Nestabilities Four quite a lot for big cards too.  Makes a fabulous shape for a book as well.

I saw a Christmas Card somewhere that I really loved and quite by chance Jayne gave me this Santa stamp when I was at her house the other week.  "Perfick!"  as David Jason (aka Pop Larkin) would say in "Darling Buds of May" for this card.  Could not resist making this card which I had, just sketched out, in my Christmas box.  Bonus is I think my dil will like it too - they are such a 'picky' pair when it comes to handmade cards, much preferring commercial ones (yes, I know, I didn't "brung him up" proper) but if Sam likes it then he will too.

Both these cards are similar - think I will send them the A5 one:



Mmmm.... might have to put something in the top corner. What do you think?
