Our first Grand-Daughter Julie got engaged at Christmas and so we all had a great celebration at Annie & Ronnies this year. All sixteen of us together for the first time in a number of years. We had the best time and it lasted in to the wee sma hours. New Year was a much quieter affair for us and it was welcomed too. So this year I have two lots of Wedding Invitations to do as Julies younger sister Louise gets married in 2019 as well, Louise in February and July for Julie. So plenty offers of help as we are very crafty family. Hope you All had a lovely time and now it is back to the grind of another hopefully successful year. Thank You All for your encouragement last year as things were not so good, but this year I will put my positive hat on and do my best. Hugs Rita xxx

Christmas Card Club 2018. Challenge 1 :Elves
Hello Everyone and Welcome once again to our Christmas Card Club 2018. The very first January challenge was chosen by Margaret ( Dutchess ) to us ladies. I searched and hunted through all my stamps and lo and behold no elves at all. So I'm afraid it was back to images for me and my goal this year is to make 2 cards for each challenge. Pictures are not so good as I took them at night, something I don't normally do. All glittered up and my first two cards have met the challenge.

Hi Rita, two gorgeous cards, and well done on making two of them. Love the images and your designs. Sounds like you all had some fab celebrations and lots to look forward to as well, be in touch soon, take care Kate x
I love the whimsical look of both these images and the design of the cards suits them both perfectly. Hugs Mrs A.
Good for you on meeting the 2 card goal (I was doing well to just get one elf card made!) Love both of these, such fun to see these elves dashing about. Cute images, and I like the framing on #1, but #2 has such a vintage retro look to it, so it's perfectly adorable as well. TFS & Hugs.
Well done foe making two cards using elves and there was me thinking I should put away my Christmas crafting 'stuff' - maybe not!! Hope this year is good for you.
Brilliant cards Rita - I think you did really well - I struggled with this theme so very well done on making two! Big hugs rachel xx
