Santa's Little Helpers or Anything Goes for the CCC!

Hello to You All, I hope you are having a good weekend whatever your plans are.

Alistair has been away sailing for a couple of days, so it been quiet here, it's been lovely.

Well it's time once again for the Christmas Card Club to show their cards and this time it's been Margaret's choice which is Santa's Little Helpers or Anything Goes.

I opted for Anything Goes as I ha no elves, I did have Gnomes, but they are not the same and I think Gnomes just do their own thing. Anyhoo, here's what I've come up with, first is Santa,


This is a very old Papermania topper, so Santa is checking his list and hopefully his little helpers have got everything in his sack, next up,


This little topper is by Geko Galz, it's cutie and I've teamed it with pretty paper and black and gold card, Now we have,


Another Geko Galz topper. I love this one with the two elderly Gnomes sitting chewin the fat have a smoke of their pipes and chillin out in the equivalent of a man shed, in Gnome terms, I've just matted and layered and added a few gems.  I hope they will do Margaret, I enjoyed making them.

Finally, here's a cheeky wee face looking in the window,


This is Meg from next door, sitting on Teallach's chair and having a nosey in. She is always around and if the door is open she comes in and makes a beeline for Teallach's toys, she's a wee sweetie but a vicious hunter. Teallach keeps a wide berth of her.

So, that's me for now, remember to check out the other CCC girls cards. Thank you for all your lovely comments, Cheerio for now,

Hi Kate, love your three cards, they're all lovely. The one with the cat rinds me of my cheeky wee kitten - she would play with decs too. She's also turning out to be quite the hunter. Two days running she's brought a mouse into the house! Nice for you to have a couple days to yourself and I hope Alistair enjoyed his sailing trip. Alan had his boosters two weeks ago and I have an appointment this week to get mine. Hopefully, we'll get through winter bug free. Hugs, xx

It's a super collection of creativity Kate and each lovely in their own way, but that super traditional Santa at the top has to be my favourite today.
