Poinsettia Card

Hell Folks, just a quick post from me to-day as I have been busy baking & cooking all morning as my youngest daughter arrives to-morrow with my 2 Grandchildren. It gives me more quality time with them if I'm a little bit organized.  My card to-day was made on Friday using my favourite Marianne die of the monent again.  The embossed background was the music folder by Sizzix. The poinsettia was cut out in vellum and I gave it some glitter.  I,m slowly, very slowly catching up with some Christmas cards,but lots more to do.  I'll try my best to pop in during the week when I can,  and see what your all getting up to. We have a lovely day so far here in the West of Scotland to-day ,so I hope it lasts.  Enjoy your Week-End.  Hugs Rita xxx
