Hello Blogging Friends and Visitors, I hope everyone is well. Here we are at another weekend, and another Christmas Card Club Challenge, the two weeks since our last one has flown by.
This time Christine has chosen Christmas Wreaths, or if you can't manage that, there is always Anything Goes. A lovely theme Christine, here is what I've managed;
This lovely card is made with die cuts from a book of die cut sheets from The Works and I've added a bit of sparkle, black card and LOTV kraft paper.
This card was made with some very old stash. Do you remember Anita products, well this was one of those die cute sheets, decoupaged up, a few gems and black card and glitter. The sentiment if from Creative Stamping magazine.
Card-io stamps are used on this card. I hadn't used Card-io stamps for ages, but after seeing the beautiful cards Marianne Fisher made using similar stamps I had a boost of inspiration, so thank you Marianne. I've added a few gems and glitter.
Thank you Christine for your challenge, I really enjoyed it.
Well, we've had some very heavy sleet showers today, and it was so dark, it was good to be indoors. I hope your weather is better where ever you are. I hope it all settles down before we go out tonight.
Thank you for all the lovely comments on my last card, and birthday wishes for Alistair, he had a good birthday, enjoyed all the gifts, cards and sweeties. I'll post his card another day.
That's me for now, going to schedule this post for tomorrow for when the CCC goes live. Keep safe everyone and see you soon,

Three beauties Kate,the two decoupaged cards are gorgeous,it's a long time since I decoupaged a complete card. My favourite has to be the Card-io stamped one your layout and colours are beautiful
Always like a Christmas wreath Kate and here we have three beauties, if I had to choose a favourite it would be hard but maybe a slight lean towards the last.

Beatiful cards Kate and I especially like the stamped one. The first stamps that I ever bought were 'Anita' stamps, in fact I still have them. I don't use many wooden stamps these days but they are some of the ones that I still have. Take care, stay warm and have a good week x

Lovely cards Kate, as always, gorgeous images and delightful colours. xxx
All cards are really lovely! Sleet!!!! I'm not ready for that! Actually, never ready for that. It's been chilly where I live...but today was warm enough for me to craft out on my porch again.
Stunning cards Kate. Especially love the first one.
Have a nice day.

Beautiful trio of very different wreath cards Kate. I think the first is my favourite I like the rustic feel of it. Hope the sun comes and brightens the days soon. Zoe x
Wow, Kate, all three cards are wonderful. Sounds like you had fun going through your older stash. I always am amazed at the stuff I forgot I had when I open certain draws! Lovely cards.

A super collection of Christmas cards Kate, lovely wreaths and I do remember Anita products, I still have some decoupage sheets hanging around somewhere!
