We got back from our visit to Dale and Stewart and the Jazz Festival, last night, needless to say it's going to be a quiet Sunday. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and the music was good, and had a really good catch up with all their news, however, it's good to be home.
A quick two weeks have passed by as it's time for the Christmas Card Club to show their latest creations and it's our lovely Christine that's our hostess and she has chosen Trees, one of my favourite sorts of images to make a card with and in fact I've made three and here they are;
Another Inkylicious stamp, Winter Snow Pine, lots of sparkle on the trees and some grey watercolour to give shadows and an Inkylicious greeting. Mounted on to black and silver glitter card.
That's it Christine, it was a brilliant challenge as I love trees, so thank you.
I've not done any commenting while I was away, and if I was to try and catch up I'd be sitting for hours, so forgive me if I miss this last week. But thank you all for the lovely comments on my last card and the trinket box, and I'm pleased to say that Dale loved it, makes it all worth while.
Thankfully it's a fine day here so, I'm hoping all the washing will get dry. I could have sworn that I cleared the wash basket before we went away, so where this volume of washing has come from is a mystery.
Don't forget to comment on the other team member's card as they are always fabulous creations.
That's me for now, have a lovely Sunday and see you soon,

Hi Kate, glad you had such a good time away - it all sounds like fun but back to reality and that pile of washing. Your cards are lovely. The backgrounds on cards 1 & 2 are beautiful and I love the glitter too. Talking of pants photo - just take at look at my second card for this week - now, that's pants! Hugs, Elizabeth xx

Gorgeous cards Kate, gorgeous images and colours. Hope you are keeping well. Marlene
Three real beauties Kate, the hint of pink and added snow on the first is a great touch, the monochromatic one is very striking and the misty hues of teal and lilac on the third really lovely.

The Jazz festival sounds exciting and a lot of fun. These are all beautiful Kate. Doesn't the shadow on the trees on the second make all the difference. Love the sparkly magic on the first one. Hope the washing drys or is that dries...brains gone but you know what I mean. Lovely post as always Kate. Hugs Flo xx

Hi Kate,
well these are 3 gorgeous designs and such beautiful stamping to.
Ilove your beautiful scenes your have created especially the last one that looks like the northern lights.

So beautiful Kate, love these tree cards. Yes it's cold here but mostly in the morning then the sun comes out and it's warm, I even got all hot a sweaty walking today...now evening, it's coolish...hugs.x
3 stunning cards love them all. I love trees too, gorgeous backgrounds xx
Three seems to be the magic number this time around Kate, I think many of us managed three cards this time. Perhaps it's just the fact that panic has set in knowing that we will be starting August soon - where has this first half of the year gone?! Anyhow, a fabulous set of three they are too, I love the different stamps and techniques you have used in them.

So pleased you enjoyed the jazz festival Kate. All three of your cards are lovely. I love the cold wintry scene you have created and the sparkle on your first card. The second is so striking, just love it and the third, the background colours are so pretty. Have a good week Kate.
Hugs Jennifer xx.
Two loads of washing here today which is now drying nicely in the garden. Also the dentist earlier where they recommended that I switch to an electric toothbrush whilst my shoulder is so painful. I got into the chair ok but then the assistant had to help me back out of it as
I have no leverage at the moment. Oh the joys of getting old. I think not.
Anyways your cards are all gorgeous and
I do like incurious stamps for their detailing. Glad you enjoyed your time away. Hugs Mrs A.
So pleased you had a lovely time with your friends and enjoyed the Jazz Festival Kate and also that your friend loved her gift. I love trees too though funnily enough I don't have many stamps with them on, must rectify that, and your cards are all beautiful. I particularly love the second as this sort of Christmas scene is what I love and these Inkylicious stamps work well on all three cards. I really must start to make some Christmas cards as I have not been able to find the time lately what with my other commitments. x
Three beautiful TREE cards and all so different and each lovely. I love the glittery goodness on them and being that it is hard to capture on the camera at times, these really showed how pretty they are.
Glad you had a good get away, and I know what you mean about the laundry!!!!
Hugs
