Listening to our First Minister today in her daily update, she was asked by a journalist is she was cancelling Christmas. I just despair of some of the questions that these folks ask, I'm sure our Nicola would love a crystal ball, however she has said she won't be cancelling Christmas, however, I'm sure it's going to different from other years..... that's my opinion.
Anyway, we are still fine, thankfully, and managing to cope. Mind you our weather is beautiful for this time of the year, so that helps to life the spirits.
So I have another card made for a friend,
Honey Bee stamps, it's from their latest stamp launch. I treated myself to the stamps, dies and sentiments and I just love them.
So I started off with an Oxide background, and splattered water and silver paint on to it. Coloured the balloon with Zig watercolour markers. The clouds are a mixture of Memory Box and for the stamp set and the sentiment is one from the set. As usual I'v added a few wee clear gems and a bit of Sparkle pen to the clouds and balloon.
I hope he likes it.
Well, it's lunch time now so I'm off to see what I can find.
Thank you for the lovely comments on my last card, and Hello to my latest Follower, although I can't return the visit as you don't seem to have a blog, but thank you for clicking the Follow Button.
Take care of yourselves and see you soon,

This card HAS to cheer him up Connie, it really is vibrant and beautiful.
I despair of some of the questions from journalists too? Perhaps they just have to prove they are there?
Keep safe and well.

A great bright cheery card Kate and just perfect to lift his spirits...
I have had to stop watching the news as the journalist ask the same stupid questions daily I really wish they would just give the briefing and end it ...we really don’t need all these inane government bashing comments...I am working my way through lots of old comedies to cheer myself up....take care xxxx
Oh Kate, this is just just so whimsical and sweet! The colors are just so darling and beautifully designed. I am sure this will cheer him up and bring a smile - this is simply perfect! Have a great weekend, my friend! x0x0
It's a great card and will cheer him up. I've been post I g cards to family and friends regardless of the cost from here, just to, hopefully, put a smile on their faces.
John and I was the virus update but now, we switch off when the questions come on. The reporters seem to ask questions that have been answered in the update, moronic. They obviously have not got enough to do now. X
Keep well Kate and Alistair.xxx
Certainly is a beautiful designed card, lush colours as well...have a lovely weekend..x
A lovely, bright and cheerful card Kate, I'm sure it will cheer Dougie up.

Such a lovely uplifting card Kate,I am sure it wi
L be well received too 😉 Viv xx
Hi Kate
Oh I love this!!!
What a fabulous sentiment alongside such a lovely design.
I think we all need our spirits lifting a little (or even a lot) at the moment don't we?
I feel certain it will brighten Dougie's spirit when he receives this, and every time he looks at it. We isolated Mum weeks before it was asked of us .. .. and we think that is what has kept her safe .. .. though she is really missing being taken out for a walk in her wheelchair.
Pleased you are coping OK .. .. but like you I think even Christmas is going to be different this year. I can't see all of this going away for ages yet.
Take care Kate.
Love Jules xx
Such a bright and cheery card Kate, perfect bright hapoy colours.

If we all had a crystal ball, perhaps this virus might not have spread as far as it has, I totally agree the questions that they think up are totally silly and stupid at times.
Love the card and your balloon imnage
A really cheery card Kate, love it! The colours are
fabulous and it makes me feel happy just to look at it.
Your card would brighten up anyone's day! I'm sure it will
bring a smile to Dougie's face and it will let him know you are thinking of him, such a lovely gesture. Stay safe and keep well dear Kate.
Hugs Jennifer xx.
Awesome card, Kate. The oxide background is beautiful and the entire design is just wonderful. I am certain that your friend got a big lift from this bright beautiful card.
Glad all is well with you........I agree with you I think this is going to continue for some time to come.......
Hugs
