Gift or Decorations for CCC!

Hello to You All, I hope today finds you well and enjoying your weekend.

Fog this morning, but burned off now and it's beautifully sunny, but low, low temperatures. 

It's time once again for the CCC girls to share their cards and this is the Lovely Rita's choice, which is Gifts/Decorations. I went with gifts;
Now this was a bit difficult to photograph because of all the sparkle, but I think you can see the heat embossed parceled up gifts in the background, and the lovely tree surrounded by all the gifts ready for Christmas morning. The tree image has been coloured with various mediums and lots of sparkle. All the stamps are from a Creative Stamping magazine, I've been trying to use these stamps, and I have many from over the last few years and I think they are great value for money.
Hope you like it Rita, I had fun doing it as it's a super choice , so thank you.

Lovely coffee morning yesterday and I did win a prize from the raffle, a Panettone  cake. I also bout the most gorgeous curried apple chutney, crab apple jelly and a beautifully baked bran loaf. We should find out tomorrow night how much we made for out coffers.

It's the food shopping this morning, once Alistair has completed his chores, have to crack the whip sometimes, I've been waiting for the car to be vacuumed for days now, the floor is covered with dirt and leaves from Derek and Alistair's walking boots after their walk last week.....he didn't notice it needed cleaned....eh?

Thank you for all the lovely comments on my last card. Well that's me for now, have a lovely day and see you soon,

Birgit said...

This is a bright and cheerful card and who doesn’t love glitter! It does show up and it is such a fun looking card and very festive. Makes me think of Christmas and unwrapping gifts. Cool here..only high of 6C but I am enjoying it ..much better than the horrible heat.

Christine Harrop said...

Hi Kate, I love to see all the gifts around the tree so your card is perfect for me - and also for Rita's challenge. Super stamp and a very festive, sparkly card. Alistair sounds just like John - it staggers me that he fails to see the mess and chaos he leaves in his wake. Hugs Christine xx PS Finally got my project posted this morning. C x
