Hope you are all well and taking care of yourselves during this really depressing weather. Last week was beautiful even if it was a tad chilly, but this week has been mostly rain and wind again. When will it all end.
However, on a brighter note this weeks challenge over at our Christmas Card Club was chosen by the lovely Kate who really makes the most wonderful cards. She chose Icicles and of course my mind went blank, so this is my card complete with icy icicles from stickles. The little winter scene was from Heartfelt Creations a few years ago and I still love it now. The background papers were from Bo Bunny and so my card was finished. Please pay a visit to the others and who all make lovely cards. Anyone wanting to get ahead with this years cards can get in touch with me or any other members that are displayed on my side bar. It really is a lovely way to get your cards all finished in time. Hugs Rita xxx

Hello Rita, well you've come up trumps with this one, it's absolutely gorgeous, the lovely snowy scene within the beautiful frame is so pretty and the design of the card is brilliant, lovely your little icicles too, perfect for the challenge, Kate x
It's a wonderful icy winter scene. Loving the scene & those beautiful frames around the village. Also great background papers to add to the chilly feeling. It was a fun challenge, yes? I had to give a think as well..the only 'icicle' thing I actually have is a Martha Stewart punch, that is really Halloween 'gooey' drips, but it works for icicles too. Started to add at the top of my card, figured it would be too 'much'. So settled for the glitter & sparkles - which didn't show in the photo at all! TFS & Hugs
Beautiful card you created, as always, with your elegant touch.
We had a blink of sunshine today but still very cold indeed.
Wishes
