Nativity or Anything Goes for the CCC!

Hello Everyone, I hope all is tickity boo with you all. The weekend again, doesn't seem that long since it was last weekend. One would think with lockdown going on that time would hang around a bit, but it hasn't.
A scorcher here yesterday, too hot for me, it just saps what little energy I have, not so hot today and quite cloudy, I think it could rain later one.
Anyoo, it's time for the Christmas Card Club to get creating again and this time it's Grandmargaret  aka, Margaret who has chosen the theme and it's Nativity of Anything Goes, I've gone with Anything Goes, and I've managed two cards;
Another Studio Light die cut sheet. I rather like this topper of the mugs of hot chocolate with the cinnamon sticks and marshmallows, I just love this drink, All the elements come from the one sheet. The background paper which you can hardly see if fro a lovely pad bought at Works.

 This little cute guy is a digi from Pink Gems and all I've added are the pink dotted background paper, black card, glitter and a few gems and glossy accents on the holly berries. I don't often used digital stamps as they use up so much ink which for my printed is pretty expensive, but he is so cute.

Thank you Margaret for the theme, I'm sure the other ladies will makes lovely Nativity cards.

Well that's me for now, enjoy your weekend and stay safe,

Two great cards Kate. Like you I just cannot cope with the excessive heat. Fortunately the downstairs of house is cool so it is pleasant to be inside out of that scorching heat. Upstairs is a different story - heat certainly does rise! Take care. Hugs Christine xx

Two lovely cards Kate. The first on with the drinking chocolate makes me think of cold winter days being made better by a lovely hot drink. Your second card is such a cutie. It's been nice to have some warm weather before autumn is upon us but it's very muggy isn't it, which isn't very pleasant. I'm sat here in my craft room with a fan on to keep me cool. My age doesn't help things either lol. Take care of yourself xx

Both cards are lovely, Kate!
The first one has such a nice feel with the combination of the vintage look embellishments with the gold accents of the image mats and the lovely stripey accent paper.

The second card is adorable. The critter is so darn cute and I like the way you have let him take center stage!
