Playing in the Snow for the CCC

 Hello Everyone, I hope you are all well and enjoying your weekend.

Just before I started to write this post, I found out that one of our Christmas Card Club ladies has passed away this morning. Shaz has battled with cancer for a number of years and it's finally beaten her. Her lovely husband Doug has been beside her the whole way and has kept us updated with sometimes good progress and at other times not so good. Shaz had an amazing spirt and was so brave  and you never heard her complain. She was also a wonderful and very creative crafter, and will be missed so very much from our little group, it's heartbreaking.

This post is a CCC and it's Lorraine who has chosen the theme and it's Playing in the Snow;

This image is from Geko Galz, and we can see the little gnomes sledging in the background.



Another Geko Galz image and I'm not sure what game this is but it looks like the gnomes are having fun.


Last card and this one uses a stamp from my from the first Creative Stamping magazine I ever bought back in the day, and we can see the children are having fun sledging. I've used Copic pens to colour, and made a little scene by adding a hill for them to  sledge down, with some trees and they built a snowman too, trees , birds and snowman from Card-io. On all cards I've added load of sparkle and gems.

Keep safe everyone, and see you soon,

The gnomes are wonderful cards, I really love them and the children sledding brings back fond memories of many years ago. We have enough snow now that the ski and tubing hills are flourishing, but it is also very cold. Lovely cards, Kate.

Hugs
