Thank you all so much for your kind comments on my last card, I do appreciate you taking the time to come and visit. I've been trying to catch up on your blogs, but sorry if I've miss some. There has been some wonderful creations from all you talented crafters, it's been a pleasure touring around your blogs.
Alistair and I have been away for a few days visiting our friends Isabelle and Graeme in Gairloch, and what a lovely time we had. The weather was great and of course the scenery is stunning. We had some wonderful beach walks too, really blew away the cobwebs, and Isabelle fed us like kings.
It is so peaceful there, I even slept better, and not watching TV was a bonus, just sitting by the fabulous log fire knitting and reading, so relaxing.
I managed to finish Damian's birthday card, his birthday is on the 25th January;
Tim Holtz Sissix Old Jalopy Die cut with Adorable Scorable Card
Kanban Papers
SB Snow flake die,(I thought it looked like a cog)
Marianne "Happy Birthday "die
Tattered Lace Alphabet Die
Gems from my box
Always a bit difficult to think up something for my lad, but he does like cars so hoping he will like this.
Just before I go I thought I would show you the Shoulder Shrug I made with the beautiful Alpaca yarn I bought at the Craft Fair last year. It's made by a yarn company from Scotland called Alpaca Loft and they have their own herd of alpacas called The Tartan Toories who are just gorgeous;
So that's me for today and almost time to go and prepare the diner.
Keep well and see you soon

Great guy card, Kate. Sometimes we struggle with those, but this turned out wonderful, love all the gold.
The shawl is wonderful. The color is awesome, you talented girl you!
A unique pin too, what a gorgeous gift.

The card looks great! I'm sure that the gold is way more stunning in person - but at least we can get the idea. Oh how I hate photographing shiny things *LOL*. The shrug is amazing, the color does look fantastic.
Best crafty wishes!
