Deer in the Forest!

Hello Blogging Friends and Visitors, I hope you are well and getting through your preparations for the Festive Season.  It's mainly just food that I need to concentrate on, but can't get that too early.

We are going to spend the Day with Damian and Moreen, so I don't need to do the cooking although I do make the soup, so it will be a bit of a surprise what Christmas Dinner will be as it will be vegetarian, but we have always enjoyed what was served and I have no doubts that this year will be as good. Alistair and I will have a more traditional dinner later in the week....although scaled down lol.

Thank you so much for the lovely comments from you on my last card, I really do appreciate them.

Here is my card for today,


I'm not sure where this lovely deer die is from, perhaps The Works or Hobby Craft. I've embossed a piece of blue card with a JND embossing folder and added little clear gems. Glitter card and a sentiment from Clearly Besotted, quite a simple card really.

Living quietly here, especially as my Aqua classes have now stopped till after the new year, but we drove to Ardsier this morning to have a walk by the see, it was cold though and the water was so grey and a bit wild, still the cobwebs got blown away. Anyhoo, time for some lunch now, so I'll say cheerio for now, hope you all stay safe,

That's such a beautiful card Kate and it looks really classy. We are hoping to spend Christmas Day with our Daughter and her family but judging by the news again last night, I'm worried that it might not happen as cases of Covid are on the rise again. What will be will be and we just have to go with it don't we. Take care and if you don't post again before Christmas, I hope you enjoy your family time together. Take care and stay safe x

Stunning card Kate, I love your navy and white and embossing, and beautiful die cuts. I'm sure your veggie dinner will be wonderful, I find there is a lot of flavour in the meals, I really like veggie food, although we will have a traditional feast!

This is beautiful Kate and I love the extra embossing on the background which looks brilliant, and the blue gives great contrast with the white die cut scene, such a lovely die design and the lower case font of the sentiment suits it perfectly. Glad you are able to have Christmas Day with your son and DIL, and that you also enjoyed a bracing walk by the sea yesterday.. it certainly wakes up the system this time of year when it is cold and breezy. x

Beautiful card Kate. I am determined to get full use out of my embossing folders instead of just hoarding them away in a box/boxes. hugs Mrs A.

Jennifer Johnston said...

This is a stunning card Kate, I love it, you say it is a simple card but wow it is very effective ! Loving the embossing on the dark blue background and the effect of the die-cut is just beautiful, so striking. Stay safe Kate.
Love & Hugs Jennifer xx.

Such a beautiful and classic festive scene Kate, perfect for a male or female recipient. It's a lovely die too with the added snowflakes in the design.
Thank you for my Christmas card, I can only apologise for taking so long to mention it, the post has been erratic and then the past two weeks have been so busy here getting my stall ready for the last two markets of the year alongside Christmas preparations that I've not known whether I'm coming or going :o)
Merry Christmas to you both!
Lorraine
