After all the tragedies of the past week and the lives that were lost and the trauma that those who are still badly injured are suffering, we as a nation of British people must stick together and find a way to get through this awful tragedy in Manchester . People who were enjoying themselves brought together by the love of music. Hope Heaven opens its door to them All. R.I.P.
Now on to our Challenge this week at the Christmas Card Club. This time its my turn to choose the theme and I chose a very much forgotten plant and the song which I think is really nice for Christmas time. Hope you all enjoyed doing something along these lines.
My own card is 7 X 7 base card matted with wine card and I used a music embossing folder before adding my chosen stamps and dies. I used two different ribbons to make the bow and This is my finished card. If anyone would like to have most of the Christmas cards finished in time for Christmas, please don't hesitate to ask either myself or any member of CCC that is on my side bar, near the foot of the page. Hope you Enjoy a nice Week-End. Hugs Rita xxx

Beautiful card, Rita. Your bow is superb and I love the way you combined the mistletoe with the dual theme.
My heart is with the families of those affected by that terrible day in Manchester. I can not get my head around the need to main innocents!
Like you my heart goes out to the victims of the Manchester atrocity. I fact my niece was at the arena but she and her friend emerged unharmed but shocked thank goodness. This is a lovely card Rita and I love the colours you have used. I'm sorry mine will not be up until morning but I managed to get it done today. Thanks for a great challenge which seems to have got us all thinking hard! Hugs Christine xx
