Another quick card with a simple layout for today,the image again from the Making cards Christmas Special,  teamed with a Crafter's Companion Embossing Folder. Love this sweet image, all the others in the set are equally beautiful I'm so glad I managed to get the magazine.

A beautiful sunny frosty morning so the washing  is on just a small load as I managed to get everyone's washing done before we came home, we had free  24 hr. access laundry facilities a real boost.

Father Christmas

Firstly, apologies to any followers I have not caught up with yet, I will visit asap.
We had a fantastic holiday with the temperatures up in the high 70's F /low 80's F, it did make it tiring as it was also quite humid some days.( I didn't expect it to be as warm and locals said it was warmer than normal for the time of year)
We squeezed as much in as possible and hardly took time to relax there was so much to do and see.
On a visit to the Florida Mall I saw a Father Christmas Grotto it was so strange to see a him fully dressed in his suit with fur trim in the blazing sunshine, not at all Christmassy. We returned to clear skies and a hard frost a bit of a shock.

I now need to work on finishing my Christmas cards, so a simple design and layout today. The image is from the Making cards Christmas Special, I thought I had missed out on it but managed to get it in Aberdeen the day we left. The embossing folders are both from Crafter's Companion.
