Christmas Wreath for the Rudolph Days Challenge!

Hello Crafting Friends, I hope today finds you well and enjoying your day.
 The sun didn't make it through the cloud and it's a bit chilly, but other than that not too bad. Alistair had planned to get up early and go for a walk in the Cairngorms this morning, and after laying out his walking gear last night, when it came to it, he changed is mind, saying he was too cosy in bed. i think he's missing his walking pals, Derek is in China, Bill skiing in the Alps, Dougie still not able to go out walking, poor hubby is like Billy No Mates. If he makes a plan with someone it motivates him to get going as he wouldn't let anyone down. He occasionally says he feels his age. Don't we all!

Anyway, enough of that. I've got a card that I want to enter into;https://scrapsoflifebyscrappymo.blogspot.com/2019/03/march-rudolph-days-challenge.html


It's a little Card-io wreath, nothing complicated here, but I think these stamps are brilliant to use. There is loads of sparkle on this but doesn't show up too well.

Thank you all so much for your visits and you lovely comments, I do appreciate your time.

This is just a quick post today, so I will love you and leave you and see you soon, take care of yourselves,

Your card looks great, Kate. And I am sure it is even better from close distance. I love spakles! Kisses, my friend. I wish you a wonderful day.

Sorry that DH didn't manage his walk today x
Those stamps sure do produce the prettiest of wreaths and what a beautiful card Kate x. Love the black and white with the pop of colour and a sparkly card for a sparkly sentiment x.

Hi Kate,

I don't blame Alistair for not wanting to go and perhaps maybe it's for the better as there should always be someone with you just in case.
I'm sure he deserves that lay in with all the activities he gets up to.

Happy Rudlof Days.
Love this wonderful wreath card and your stamping looks very super and gorgeous.
Thank you for joining the Rudolf Challenge.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L. DT

Beautifully crafted Kate, I always enjoy seeing a floral wreath and the colours you chose work very nicely. Thought of your hubby last evening when we watched a documentary about a young American named Alex who was the first to climb El Capitan without ropes, scary but incredible.

I do like the little range of cardio stamps. They are so versatile . I have loads but must admit to not using very often. I found lots of stuff
I don't use when I had my craft room sort out. Finally getting somewhere with our no internet saga. The service provider has agreed to send an engineer out to us to see what 's what or what's not as the case may be. Hugs Mrs A.

Gorgeous holiday design Kate.

Alistair will just have to tell himself that he is on holidays!

Your card is really pretty. I love these stamps arranged into the wreath. So many little elements of greenery and pinecones!

Sorry I have not been round our club. I find it so hard to sit and type now or to sit and create. I just want my surgery done and get on with healing and rehab.

I am set back another month as I still have that open area on my tummy. I am on a prescription to clear it up so hope it works soon.
Feels like I have been waiting forever!

Thanks for taking part in the March Rudolph Days Challenge.

Beautiful card Kate. The black and the red give it a real modern feel. Oh, poor Alistair. It is more fun with friends and you are right about feeling more motivated.
