Forest Robin for the Christmas Card Club!

Good Evening Everyone, I hope your Saturday has been a good one and that you are all tickity boo!
It's been a mixture of weather here in Inverness, and quite a bit cooler in the afternoon, but after doing some food shopping I was indoors for the rest of the day, having a great time knitting and card making.  Unfortunately my friend Karen called off our breakfast date as she hadn't been too well through the night.

Thank you all for the lovely comments on my Xstitch pictures, and for your advice on how to get the creases out. I wasn't able to get frames of the sizes I needed, so I've decided to enquire at the framing shop about cost of having them framed there.  I think it's pretty expensive though, but at least it will be framed right.

We are doing something quite different tomorrow night.  Our friend Sean gave us tickets for a play at Cawder Castle (of Macbeth fame), as he now can't manage to go. It is performed outside in the gardens and it's Romeo and Juliet, played traditionally by an all male cast, the love scenes should be especially interesting.  Anyhow, the idea is that we take a picnic and wine or something to drink, and sit around being very pretentious.  We went to a performance like this a good few years back, and watching the audience was of interesting,  lots of "Darlings", all dressed the part with linen suit's and panama hats, and that was just the guys, floaty dressed and and parasoles and champagne.

We will be going with warm clothes and a flask of coffee and profiteroles from M&S Dine in for Two, and we'll think we're so decadent.

Well, it's time again for the CCC to show their cards and this time the theme is to have a Cardinal Bird or another Christmas Bird on your card.  Now as I don't know what a Cardinal bird looks like, I had to settle for a Robin;

This theme was chosen by Mary, and for it I've used a decoupaged Robin, matted on to Gold Tattered Lace Paper, Green Core'dination card embossed with a Papermainia Snowflake Folder, Gold ribbon and Gold Gems from my Box, Sentiment an old one from last year's stash.  Lots of Star Dust.

Please have a look at what the CCC Members have made, there's bound to be gorgeous cards.

Going to schedule this for Sunday morning.  I'll say good night and see you soon,
