White Christmas

Well, No I'm not taking leave of my senses, nor am I doing a long range forecast. I'm certainly feeling lots better than a couple of days ago and at least I am back in my craft room again. The Challenge over at Joan's Gardens this week is a white christmas card. As most of you will know I find it hard to create CAS cards anyway, so this was a real challenge for me.  I started off with a tent card and added the snowflake embossing folder card. Then I used some die cuts that were a RAK years ago now, so I have no idea who created them. To finish off I added a Merry Christmas embossong folder.  I was so tempted to add a red nose to rudolph mind you.  Hope you are all enjoying the sunshine and of course your crafting too.
 Hugs to you All.  Rita xxxx

Your card is wonderful! Love Mickey! Thanks for commenting on my blog. Your cards and projects are great. I have been looking around your blog. I just love Scotland. I visited 4 yrs. ago and would love to go back. Loved Edinburgh. We were there for the military tattoo and the fringe.

Rita, this is so pretty! I love the way you've placed the Santa and reindeer on your card. Was so glad you stopped by for a visit and to meet you, thanks for following and I am going to return that favor. I have always wanted to visit Scotland and now I have a new friend from there.
Have a wonderful week and so glad you are feeling better.
By the way, love that baby card with the carriage.
