Yuletide Greetings : Winter Foliage

Today's Challenge at Make My Monday was chosen by Emma and the theme she would like to see "Winter Foliage" so think, ivy, holly, pine cones, fir trees, berries etc, it doesn't need to be a Christmas card.

My card was made totally from die cuts from various companies , holly leaves from Joanna Sheen, Pine branches and cone base by Spellbinder, cone segments cut from a sizzix pansy/viola die, each piece was less than 1cm across, were embossed and approx  25-30 added to each base. Sentiment from Tonic with a mat I cut by hand.   I wish I had added a mat behind the embossed one to give some contrast, but overall am reasonably pleased with the result.     

 Pop over to the Challenge Blog for some inspiration and see the fabulous makes there.

Bird in Cage Tag

 Concentrating for a few days on Christmas cards and tags when I get the chance, I'm so far behind this year and really need to get a move on with them.

A reasonable day after so many bad days last week, so will need to spend some time in the garden, especially in the raised vegetable beds that need thinning out.

Thanks for all the lovely comments on my last card it's for my niece's birthday next month.

Snow Couple

I buy most of my card stock from the Papeterie in Aberdeen in an A4 size, so after cutting a15x15 cm card am left with long strips about 6 cm wide,some I use for die cuts but the remainder was surplus until I became a fan of white on white. I now use all those leftover pieces instead of paper.

Deep in Thought

I have very few girly girl friends or family members but decided to make a card suitable for a female but not make it too girly.I hope I have succeeded in this.

Had a great day out yesterday meeting my eldest son in Aberdeen, shopping having lunch and going to the pictures seeing him twice within two weeks is a record for me, as I had to transport James the 10 miles to school and home again at night it didn't leave time for a trip to Aberdeen. I love living in the country but we are 10/11 miles away from any public transport and the school James went to was in Moray not Aberdeenshire where we live.
