Christmas

Rather an overcast sort of day, at least it's dry but where has summer gone?

Whilst I had my Christmas papers out I made a couple more cards, this is the first with an image from La Pashe. Added poinsettias and ribbon .

White Christmas

Nothing says "White Christmas" more to me than a scene like this, it's what I can see from my kitchen window on a snowy day. White Christmas is Margaret's choice this week at CD Sunday pop over and see the lovely selection of cards by the DT members , to join in, use something from a Cd and make a note of the Cd in your post.

This digi is from The Best of La Pashe 2012, the embossing folder from Crafter's Companion Nordic Range and the embellishments are cut from Spellbinder, Tattered Lace and Joanna Sheen's Signature Collection Dies.

I would love to see your take on a "White Christmas" so please join in.

A card for our postie today, he's been delivering our mail since we built our bungalow in 1993, and since giving up work I've got to know him quite well. I firmly believe in giving a gratuity to someone ho has provided good service. Almost everything ready now just the last minute fresh food shopping to do.

Christmas Post

I made this card at the same time as the Christmas Coach one, both images are on the same CD , this is a real old fashioned post van and I love the winter feel of the image. The weight of the embellishments is uneven so I cut off the circle bottom on the back of the card to make sure it would stand in the correct position, initially it rolled round onto it's side.

Christmas Coach

Not quite as cold today,so the dog may get a longer walk than the 40 minutes he's been having of late.
All the chores are done so I will have a quiet day reading or watching some DVD's before going shopping in the evening.

Holly Jolly Christmas

I have had so little free time this past week, trips away have filled my days and been really enjoyable despite the miserable weather.

Walking In A Winterwonderland

Best Wishes for 2015 to everyone who visits. We have cold frosty mornings here in the North East of Scotland and thankfully little rain but a light dusting of snow.
I have several cards that I didn't post in December, at the beginning of the month we had a lot on, then as Christmas approached I contracted a viral infection which left me feeling weak and washed out, of course it was at it's worst on Christmas Day which I spent in bed unable to raise my head from the pillow. Hubby coped with dinner for the boys and our eldest's fiancée, as they left on Boxing day I felt I'd missed out as I hardly saw them.
There are still lots of Christmas Card Challenges to enter.
