One More Christmas Card

Christmas is over for another year. It was quiet here because our daughters do not live here, and one is over a 9 hours drive from here, but we did have friends stop by and we had invited one who is a widow for supper. We normally have our family Christmas get-together sometime around Christmas but when it falls on a Wednesday its hard because of the travel time and people having to work except for Christmas Day and Boxing Day…..but thank goodness they are all working! So we had to postpone our get-together this year. This was the warmest Christmas in years and it broke the record for the warmest Christmas ever – it was almost 10C (50F)…in fact it’s still that warm and it feels more like a March day. Unfortunately the cold air is returning.

I’m sneaking in another Christmas card I made using the Memory Box window die. 

 The picture is from an old Christmas card – better to re-use them then pitch them in the recycle box. This time I took a piece of grey cardstock and ran it through the brick embossing folder. The window was die cut from a lighter grey. There is clear plastic from a package between the window and the photo which really makes a difference in real life. People always touch it for some reason. I wanted to keep this card fairly simple so I just die cut some leaves in gold and tucked them behind the window and then added a couple of green leaves and a gold peel-off. It has that vintage Christmas look.

That’s all for another mild but damp day. Have a wonderful weekend everyone; stay safe, be creative, enjoy family and friends, and perform a random act of kindness whenever you can.

Cheers
