I had great fun yesterday making todays Advent card.
Mandy emailed me a "Folder" from our sponsor today ooh La La Creations
Never done this before, well once I had worked out how to open the folder, I can be incredibly slow sometines!
I found pages of artwork, toppers, card inserts, other magic things that you card makers use.
I picked the ones I wanted and simply printed them off onto card.
This is what I made.

Day 4 - Ribbon Advent

![](/docs/blogfiles/2012/11/2012+advent.gif)
Those that know me may have guessed I am short of a little ribbon mojo at the moment, nothing that a holiday would not put right.
Hint, hint Tony!!
So todays advent inspiration comes from Sydney my 7 year old niece.
![](/docs/blogfiles/2012/12/syd+cards+500.jpg)
It had to be something simple and quick to do as she wanted to make about 30!
Small red cards, some of our Happy Family Christmas ribbons (although she told me she had two cats and no dog!)
and a stapler.
I cut the ribbon to lengths and she folded and stuck the family ribbon down and attached the
"Happy Christmas with love x" with the aid of the stapler.
Simple, job done in under 30minutes.
You can find the ribbon here.
Today prize has been kindly given to us by The Cutting Cafe
3 Fab digi sets could be yours just for visiting the Inspiration blog here and adding your name to the list.
Have a great day, I am off to Bath to see a man who can fix thumbs!!!!
I wish.............
