Christmas Card Club. Challenge 18: Christmas Carols

Hello Everyone.  Here I am once again with the CCC 18 and the theme was chosen by me Christmas Carols.
My card has been made using LOTV image from a few years  ago, when they visited Glasgow.  The edge of the card was from Sue Wilson Die called  Orion, backed with red card.  I used the TH brick embossing folder before adding the window frame and image.  Red seam binding and a computer generated sentiment completed my card.   We are currently looking for new members and it makes sure you have most of Christmas cards done in plenty of time. 
The last 10 days has been awful as my BPV has come back with a vengeance.  However I am now back on my meds and it is starting to clear.   A bit of good news to share at last, Andrew goes in to hospital on Tuesday with the operation to his left knee being done first on Wednesday morning.  Hopefully no snags this time or I shall blow my top.  I will keep you up to date as to how he progresses.   I will have my next Fiskars Design project up soon too, so watch this space.    Lots of Hugs to Everyone.    Rita xxxxx

Sorry to hear that you are feeling poorly Rita and hope your medication soon gets things under control. On a positive note Andrews operation date is a good thing and I hope this time that all goes smoothly.
A lovely card for your theme which was great to create for this time. Love the window frame and cute carollers behind it. Take care,
Lorraine

So glad to hear you are feeling better and YAY that this time is a GO for Andrew's surgery too. Love the window scene and absolutely adore this SW border against the pretty Christmas red. The brick wall looks very realistic with this window onto the tiny carolers..So beautiful. TFS & Big hugs.

There's nothing I like better than peeking through windows (on cards and dollshouses - not real life!), so this really makes me happy - I hope they're good singers mind!

I'll be thinking of you both on Wednesday - really hope it goes without a hitch this time.

Hi Rita,
so sorry to hear your are not A1 ar the moment especially when Andrew has his op tomorrow.
I think all the worry of the cancelled op has taken it's toll on you, and the looking after him, but hopefully tomorrow will see the start of a new, and better future health wise for you both.
Love your super card, and what a great design.
Beautiful bricks, and what a very fab image inside that lovely window.
I think I may just join your Christmas card club.
Love and biggest hugs from my house to yours.
Lots of crafty get well wishes. Jenny L.
