Hello Everyone, I hope you are well and enjoying your Easter weekend as well as you can. I'm sorry that for many of you it will be a difficult one not being able to be with family and friends, or not going away for the holiday. It's to be hoped that next year will be better, and all this will be behind us.
Well two weeks have gone by and it's time again for the Christmas Card Club Challenge, where our little team of like minded ladies like to get ahead of the game and make our Christmas cards throughout the year.....certainly takes the pressure off card making in December.
So, this time it's our lovely Maureen who is hosting the Challenge and it's Christmas Critters, or of course Anything Goes. Here's what I've made;
I've had this digi image for ages and this is the first time I've used it, it's by Just Inklined and such a fun image. Coloured with Copic Markers and Sparkle pen, I've also used some gold gel pen. Clearly Besotted sentiment, love the font on this one, papers are form Dovecraft, And to finish off some clear gems and Sparkle Dust.
I decided that the reindeer wasn't Rudolph hence his black nose, Rudolph would have been too busy getting ready to pull Santa's sleigh.
Number two card is a different sort of critter, but nonetheless cute;
Yeh he's a fish and definitely a Christmas one as he has his Santa hat on and put up his tree. Another digi and I thing by the same company, again had it for ages. Copic colouring and papers for a pad bought in the Works, which is not Christmasy at all, all ocean images and colours, but \I thought it worked well, pale blue glitter card and a Lawn Fawn sentiment, gems to finish.
I'd like to enter this card into https://www.fezziwigsfestivefrolics.com/2020/04/fezziwig-says-festive-animals.html
Thank you Maureen for the challenge I did so enjoy it and again got to use old stash.
Thank you to everyone who left comments on my last card, as always they are so much appreciated.
Well, that's me for now, please have a look at what the other CCC ladies make, they are always fabulous.
Keep yourselves safe, take no risks and enjoy the remainder of the weekend,

Good Morning Kate. I just love your cards, both of them made me smile. Hope all is well in your household, and that you manage to enjoy this Easter Sunday. Im doing a week-end course with the lovely Tracy Evans, out of my comfort zone, but it is a challenge. Doing it at my own pace and thoroughly enjoying it. All will be revealed. Lots of Hugs and Stay Safe. Rita xxxxx

Great enjoyable post Kate and fabulous viewing.
Happy Easter.xx
That reindeer made me laugh. Maybe this is Clyde who was passed over to be on Santa’s sleigh team. The second one is cute and both cards are so prettily created using the Easter colours
Happy Easter Kate
Two super cute cards, the images are so sweet

Love that second card with the Christmas fish. Brilliant card. I have mowed the grass and pulled up a few dandelions today so that’s my jobs done or the day . The Doc did say what about the washing but I said no that is tomorrow’s job. Got to eek them out and not rush into anything.My sainsburys shop is being delivered tomorrow. First food for 3 weeks. I feel like old mother Hubbard with the cupboards all bare. It’s amazing what you find lurking in the back. A jar of birds custard mix with 2006 stamped on the top! Made some up and The
Doc tried the teaspoon test and he is still here lol. Mind you I never told him what the date was as that is on a need to know basis,. . Hugs Mrs A

WOW, Kate, love both of these digi's such fun Christmas cards. Love the font on the first one as well, and your little fish celebrating the holiday in his fish bowl home is priceless. These cards must have been such a joy to make.
