Hello Everyone, and how are you all today. Another week almost past and for the Christmas Card Club girls it's another challenge and it's our last one for the year. This time around Rachel has chosen the theme and it's humour. Here is my card...only one this time,
This is a fabulous stamp set from Hobby Art, and have saved it to make a card for Damian and Moreen. Coloured mainly with Copic Markers after having embossed in green Wow EP, I've also used gel pens on some of the images. I found this card base in a drawer with yet more old stash, it was already cut out and scored, I don't know what this shape is called though. I think, they'll get a laugh at it. Thank you Rachel for choosing this theme, I really did enjoy it.
As I said it's the last challenge and it's been so good making the cards throughout the year as I've had more than enough, I've also let Moreen choose any she wanted and it hardly made a dent in my box.
So, if any of you would like to join our merry little band, please get in touch with me or indeed any of the other girls and you would be more than welcome.
I have only one more card to make and it's for Alistair, thank goodness for that.
I've sat tonight and got all my cards written out, it's exhausting, but at least it's done and I'll get them posted on Monday. Dreading the postage though!!
Thank you all so much for your comments on my last card and your kind comments about Jim, he's still here bless him, but every time the phone rings we just expect the news that he's gone.
I'm scheduling this for tomorrow for when the Challenge Blog goes live, so I'll sigh off for now and see you soon,

Such a fun card Kate. Really love it. I saw these stamps the other day they are super images. You can't help but smile when you look at them. Hugs Flo xx
This is indeed a fun image from Hobby Art and that shape is a central stepper card I think, and the green gingham paper is perfect and love the fun sentiments too. You haven't mentioned any choir concerts lately, but maybe I missed a comment somewhere along the line, or maybe it is yet to come and if so I hope it goes well. We had our Christmas concert last night with a mix of songs/carols and luckily all went well so all good. We did three quite challenging numbers from the Stella Natalis by Carl Jenkins, don't know if you have come across this. They had some difficult timing and strange harmonies, in fact we were doing a fourth one but had to drop it as it was not coming together well enough. x
This is so funny Kate, a wonderfully made card. I agree about the writing and postage, a lot! but I saved some money this year, don't know how LOL.

Your card made me chuckle. Still doing my cards. All made now bar two specials and of course the

A great fun card, Kate, though I confess I'm not fond of sprouts. I'm sure your friends will enjoy the humour. Sorry I'm late. xx
Oh Kate, this is the cutest!! I love your little sprouts - very creative! It reminds me of when my kids were little a show they would watch - Veggie Tales! Just darling - it sounds like your friends will love the pick me up! Hugs!
ok this made me laugh a lot, we have them every year and every year I find them under the table and no one knows how they got there, the dog used to love them but has decided she doesn't for the last two years, sprouts make me laugh, great card, hugs Pops x
A super card Kate, I love your fun sprouts and great design - it certainly made me chuckle.

Ahhh this is so fun, what a fabby card, My boys used to be told its sprouts from Santa if you are naughty!! Backfired as my Jake loves them. Well done on all the cards, I had made 5 the whole year so am now stuggling to get through my makes. Oops!!! Ive ended up buying some from the shop for the first time in 10 years!! Hazel x
SO glad you shared this card, Kate! I've never see brussel sprouts done this way! I personally love the little cabbages and make them a number of ways. But those EYES! I wonder if I'll ever be able to eat another whole spout again. LOL I was reading Pops comment to you above, and that made me laugh even more. Then I saw what Hazel used to tell her boys (above) and that made me laugh. I'm glad I was one of the last to comment because not only has your fun card delighted me and made me laugh with all those elements and dimensional items, but the comments on your blog are just as entertaining! LOL Thanks for a great morning! hugs, de
absolutely brilliant card Kate - I love these sprouts so much - and will be putting the humour challenge forward again for next year! Wishing you every happiness this Christmas time! Hugs Rachel xx
