Hello To Everyone, how are you all doing? I hope all is well with you and that your weekend is going well. We are fine and dandy, thankfully, and hoping to go for a run to Aviemore later this afternoon.
I had a wonderful treat yesterday....I went to visit Damian, and after a bit of discussion decided to take a chance and go into the house, thankfully they have a big enough sitting room to socially distance ourselves, however certainly couldn't with Milo and Rowan, who were all over me. I've not been with them since the start of lockdown months ago, neither have I seen Moreen, so it was just wonderful. I don't know whether it was me or the jumbo bones that caused the dogs' excitement, I like to think it was me. Anyway it was good to have a good old catch up. Damian has been told to work from home now, not to even bother going into the office even for one day a weeks, he's happy, and Moreen continues to work from home too. This may become the new normal for many people.
So, it's time once again for the Christmas Card Club to show their creations and it's our lovely Lorraine who has chosen the theme, which is Mainly Red, or of course if you can't manage that, Anything goes.
I would like to enter this card into https://scrapsoflifebyscrappymo.blogspot.com/2020/08/august-rudolph-days-challenge.html
Two very cute images from LOTV, digital sheets, so I didn't have to colour. On the first card I've used a backing paper from Dovecraft, and s snowflake embossing folder, and lots of glitter.
I used a snow globe die from the Works on this second card, and Paper from First Edition, again lots of sparkle and gems.
I had almost forgotten about the challenge, this last fortnight has whizzed past, so I had to do something quick, so I hope they will do Lorraine. Thank you for the challenge, once I got started it was fun.
Do check out the creations the other girls in the team make, there's always fabulous cards.
Thank you all so much for the lovely comments on my last coloured page, as always you are very kind.
Thanks me for now, enjoy your Sunday, and take care of yourselves,

How lovely for you to visit your family yesterday Kate, we take such things for granted until it's not possible don't we. Two of our boys and families live many miles away so not seen them since early part of the year which seem like forever.
Two very cheery and happy Christmas cards, the second would fit into our Circles theme at Allsorts a treat.

Two lovely cards Kate...I do love the LOTV images.....
Kate you can resize the photos to make them fit.....just click on your photo when it has loaded up and a box will appear..click on the pencil image that will pop up and a box to edit the image will come up...choose a smaller size for your photo.....hope that works xxxx
Love your fun cards Kate. Sounds like you had a super time out. I can imagine it was fun with the pets! We are so thankful for our fur babies during lockdown for entertainment and fun, but yes the idea of social distancing has passed them by. Keep safe lovely xx
Hi Kate
Two fabulous cards ... I can’t help you with your photos sotty
Hugs Sylvie xx
Two beautiful cards, you can size them down, I found a box popped up and there is a - button it’s quite small press it and the picture will reduce down. You can either put them in the middle or either side, press the photo and the long box should pop up. Hope this helps.
Yes it’s lovely to see friends again, we went out to lunch to meet friends, thus week, we meet up half way between us, we had not seen each other since 12th feb. Great catch up like you it’s so nice to see friends.
Hope you have a nice weekend
Glad you managed to catch up and you have made two great cards Kate. It must have bben wonderful to have time with Damian and Moreen. I haven't seen my family since Christmas because they are all up north and I usually a trip up end of March time - right when we went into lock down. I miss them all so much and goodness knows when we'll be able to meet up. Still, i keep telling myself we need to be safe!! Hugs Christine xxx

Ahhh both your cards are fantastic, I love them. Its great to hear that your son can still work from home. Such a worry with them going out and mixing once again. I have hated Jake being in Aberdeen for work the last few weeks with there being back in lockdown. Thanks for joining in with me over on Fezziwigs, Hazel xx
I really had fun doing this weeks theme. I pulled out so many red papers and elements that
I have enough left for at least another 6 cards.one of the tartan paper is the one you have used here on your card. I do like to see tartan on a Christmas card.. these two are excellent ambassadors for the theme. Hugs Mrs A.
I love the new LOTV images and your cards are fab. They look fine to me. I can see somebody above has told you how you can resize. I have mine as extra large but my layout is two columns. Glad you had a lovely visit.
Two great cards Kate, love the snowball one and the first one is so cute, good to be able to see your family as at the moment we can only do facetime. xx
Lovely cards Kate, I think it Will be the norm for people to work from home now, xxx
These are both lovely cards, it's so nice to see all that red. You know you can resize a photo in blogger once you insert it in the post? Hugs x
Hi Kate,

Such a lovely scene inthat snowglobe of that sweet snowman.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Hello my dear friend.What beautiful cards. I hope you enjoy your trip to Aviemore today. I thought I might take another go at my blog but for some reason its gone all over the place. Speak Soon. Hugs Rita xxx
Oooo what a stunning pair of red cards, so perfect for your Challenge and thanks for joining us at Augusts Rudolph Days Challenge, Luv Sam x
Beautiful cards, Kate. The LOTV images are always lovely. It's so nice for us now to be able to reunite with family and friends. I know I've appreciated being able to my daughter and her family again. My son has been at home these last month's but he starts a new job today so fingers crossed he will be safe. Take care and stay safe. Hugs, xx
Two gorgeous cards Kate and so glad you got to have a good old catch up - it must have been a long old lock down for you. I remember when they allowed support bubbles - well it made the world of difference to me and my mum - just lovely! Big hugs Rachel xx
Two beautiful Christmas cards Kate. Love them
both but I just love the Santa Claus card the most,
he is such a jolly looking Santa.....reminds me of
many happy childhood Christmases lol. Have a good
week Kate.
Hugs Jennifer xx.
Your cards look great, Kate. I must say this theme had me stumped. I thought the whole card had to be red! How silly am I?
Yours are perfect...lots of red and yet not too much!
Think I shall have to make something now and post it late...with lots of red in it...
Thanks for taking part in the August Rudolph Days Challenge.
Your cards are so cute and festive. Really well done. I’m glad you had a good visit!
Hello my friend!! Your cards are, as always, fabulous! Nothing says Happy Holidays like a jolly Santa and the color red! These are both so wonderful and your eye for detail and design is always spot on. I wish I knew how to fix blogger - I get big S P A C E S between my sentences, lol. I think they will eventually iron it out. Hugs! x0
Love the cards with the pops of red. The Santa and reindder one made me smile. I am so glad you could visit with family and the doggies couldn't get enough. I did the same on the weekend and their big dog was just all over me which I love
Lovely to hear you visited your family Kate. Your cards are so colourful and cute
I'm dreading the change to the new blogger!

Your Santa and his "deer" friend on bikes is such a fun card!! and the snowmen in the snow globe is wonderful, I so love me a snowman and have always been fascinated by snow globes since childhood. Fun cards, Kate.
Hugs

2 beautifully done cards mf....all ready for the holidays.
xx Karen
Glad you were able to have a good visit with your son and I'm sure the dogs were over the moon with their bones. Two beautiful bright Christmas cards Kate and the snowflake embossing looks great as a background with the first LOTV image, and then the snow globe is so pretty and love the paper too. I see from your most recent post that you seem to have fixed the photo problem so won't talk about that..lol. x
These are both super cute, I am so in love with the Simply prints at the moment, I am running short and cannot get any markers just yet so they let me be creative still, shaleise was supposed to be going back to work next week but they have pushed in to the end of October, so she is happy working from home, its been 6 months now and she really likes it, and it makes me feel happy knowing she is safe, I think its now the new normal thing and will be for a long time to come, hugs Pops x
