Post Box/Mail Box for the CCC!

Hello Everyone, I do hope you are well and having a good weekend.....my goodness it doesn't seem that long ago it was last weekend, these weeks are whizzing by.

So are the Christmas Card Club fortnights, here we are again with our second February Challenge and this time it's our lovely Mrs. A also known a Valery who has chosen the theme and it's Post Boxes or Mail Boxes.  I managed two cards this time;
This adorable image is from a CD called Magical Christmas Moments, and it's all lovely and fluffy animals. Added lots of glitter and found some old paper that looked snowy and came across a sentiment from Docrafts, which is really old. a few wee red gems and that's it.

Another Little Claire image, coloured with Copic Markers, DI background with gel pen for snow, and glitter around the base of the pillar box. A Memory Box snowflake die......don't know when I last used that. and some papers found in my stash of papers. Sentiment is also Little Claire. I've also added a few gems.
Quite simple cards Valery, I hope you like them and I did enjoy the challenge and it also allowed me to use some older stash, so thank you.

Well, that's me for now, but just to thank you before I go for your continued visits and lovely comments. A warm Welcome to my newest Follower too, I hope you will pop in often.
Take care of yourselves and see you soon,

Good Morning Kate. Two wonderful card from you. I do love them both. More rain here today and it's so dull and depressing. However I'm out to lunch with two old friends today that I only see once a year, so we will have lots to talk about. Hope you have a lovely day. Hugs Rita xxx

Glad you enjoyed the theme I chose. Your two cards are lovely. Csn’t Best postboxes and robins on a Christmas card. So
Iconic. The sun is shinning so
I am sat in the summerhouse whilst waiting for the washing machine to churn out its next load. The wind is drying everything in record time. Mind you having to make sure everything is well pegged on the line! Hugs Mrs A.

These are super cards Kate. You do have some fun challenges. Love the post boxes. It did make me think though how long will post boxes be around. It's like the phone boxes. Times move on I suppose. Hope your weekend is going well.
