Brrr, it's a cold world this morning but thankfully we've no snow.  It's a snuggle up by the fire day so that's just what I'm going to do as Mr C is working till 5 o'clock (funny shifts on a Sunday!)

My card today is for Sunday with Santa on FB and the theme this week is Birds.  I've used vellum on this card and at long last I've found a glue I can used all over the vellum without it showing through or warping.  I'm probably the last in the craft world to find this out but just in case you don't know it's All Purpose Glue by Collall, brilliant!  I'm still keeping my Christmas cards simple so that Mr Post Office can't charge me a fortune when the big day comes.

Love

Hi! What a brilliant day my friend and I had yesterday.  I bought enough card stock in Southfields to keep me going for a while and also some Christmas stuff which was in the sale!  After that we went to Dobbies and had lunch.  When we came out of there it was blowing a blizzard but decided to go to the Gyle shopping centre where it doesn't snow!  We had a good rummage round there and it was nice to see the new season's clothes coming into the shops.  The colours are so vibrant and makes you think Spring might be just around the corner.  We then had a coffee and headed home.  My friend is coming up to my house tomorrow afternoon and we're have a crafty time.

The card I've made today didn't end up the way it started in my mind - do you know the feeling!  Unfortunately the base paper doesn't show up very well on the screen.  It's pale cream with lovely roses on it.

It's A Man Thing

Hi! I'm not prone to doing manly cards but needs must occasionally!  Once I got all the bits and pieces looked out (which all came from my scrap drawer) I didn't find it too onerous as it's a simple card, which I enjoy doing.  Off out with my friend today ... now what can we get up to!  Sorry that this card looks terribly wonky but it's ok irl, oh yes it is!

Snow is falling ... brrr.  I've not been around these past few days again as there seems to be so many other things to do just now.  However, I've been doing some cards to get my normal mojo working again and am giving my Christmas mojo a wee rest!  Hope you like this one.  Hugs x
