Good Morning Folks, I hope you are all tip top and having a good weekend. Is it good weather where you are? it could go either way here I think, and it's gotten a bit dull now and the big question is........do I put the washing out or not? I find these huge philosophical questions just beat me at times.
Anyhow it's time for another Christmas Club Card and this theme is Layers and chosen by Lorraine, who loves layers herself, so without further ado here is mine;
A little bit of upcycling this time as the topper was once upon a time another card, not Christmas, but one I received when I left work. I kept it as I loved the little birds and the delicate trees and with a bit of frosting on it I've turned it into today's card. LOTV paper for background and Centura Pearl in that gorgeous blue shade and silver mirri. Die'sire Greetings Die, Xcut Ovals and gems from my box.
I have to say that I'm rather pleased with the result as I don't usually upcycle, maybe I'll do it more now.
The other girls in the team will be along with their creations soon and they will be beauties.
Thanks to everyone who left comments on my last card, and to Maureen Killin who commented and is new to my blog.
Have a great day folks whatever you do, I thinks it's shopping for us, hate shopping!! and maybe a bit of crafting, till next time,

A lovely winter scene, Kate. Very cool indeed.

Of course I am loving this wonderful red birds on branches upcycle! I'm so glad you were able to incorporate it into this week's layers challenge. Looks really pretty with the other scallop ovals behind it, and nice layout to stage the placement as you did. Love that pretty background paper as well. Apologies for being late in visiting for the CCC, but trying to play catchup now that I'm back home again. Doing some catchup around the house as well! Back later to enjoy your newer cards. TFS & Hugs
