More Christmas cards for Festive Friday



Good Morning Ladies, 

Two more of my gorgeous Christmas cards today, these two were designed and created by Val and Margaret.
The first 'Cute Kitty' card was designed by Our Val, she used a super cute Cat topper which to me looks like a 'Chorus of Kitty Carol Singers', which she framed with an intricate die cut, a piece of matching kitty background paper framed in the same way creates a gorgeous backdrop for the topper.  Val added a pretty border along the bottom of the card and a delicate sentiment framed in the same red card.
We are a house of cat lovers so your card went down very well Val, thank you so much xxx

Margaret used a beautiful die cut Christmas scene to create this fantastic card, She die cut the scene in white and mounted it onto Red card, which highlights all of the intricate details of this gorgeous die. Margaret used a beautiful sentiment to finish my card, stamped in matching red ink and punched with a pretty label punch and then mounted onto a red SU 'Lots of Labels' die cut. 
I absolutely love this card, the die cut image is beautiful Margaret, thank you so much. XXX

Ooh we have a busy day today, we are viewing another house at 9:30 am, it's a rural location but a perfect house layout, I only hope my two dear friends will travel a bit further to visit me each week!!  
We were then having our hair cut but poor Freya is heavily pregnant and suffering so she had to cancel, the girls were a bit gutted but I'm not too worried. 
We then have to measure off to the JR hospital in Oxford where I am seeing a Cardiologist, so hopefully I will get some information about why my heart keeps racing and struggling to maintain its normal rhythm.  
Lilian,  I understand you are seeing your cardiologist too, I'm wishing you the very best of luck for a good outcome, my appointment is at 13:50, what time is yours Lilian ?? 

We also have to pop into bank for Paul to sign some papers, then a bit more Christmas shopping. 

I'm looking forward to spending the day with Paul I have to say, I really miss not seeing through the day. 

Karen, I hope your heating gets fixed before the weekend, we had two weeks in December without heating once, the bought us two tiny fan heaters, it was awful, I have everything crossed that you get your parts quickly XXX

Lilian, all the best for today's appointment, fingers crossed for positive outcome. XXX


I hope you all have a fantastic day my dear friends,

Love and hugs

Sandra

  2. Morning Ladies

    Two really lovely Christmas cards on display today, they’re beautiful gorgeous.

    Yesterday was busy at work then I went straight to Tesco (met hubby there)....oh boy, was it crazy busy!!! Got home about 7pm, unpacked the shopping then phoned my Dad. Collapsed in a heap after that. I haven’t slept much the last 2 nights so I’m looking forward to my 4 days off. Just today to get through first.

    Sandra-good Luck with the house viewing and the appointment to see the Specialist .

    Lilian-good luck with your hospital appointment to see the Specialist.

    1. Hi Michele
      Even though you were busy I bet you were smiling all day. Inside as well as outside.
      It always amazes me how people fill trolleys full of food for basically 1 day. I've seen people with 2 or 3 trolleys full to overflowing with food. Seems like their stocking up for a couple of months not a couple of days. Enjoy your 4 days off.

  3. Morning everyone,

    Love the Christmas cards Val and Margaret, festive red and white brings warm feelings.

    Not so busy day today except for wrapping up Joseph's new trackie bottoms, my candle arrangements for family and a couple of friends then a visit to my besties, couple of hours taking up the trousers I didn't get to do the other day and doing a favour for John our stage manager by sewing 4 new flats then machine well and truly away. and to top it all a visit to o Bridgwater Macmillan Theatre's production of The Wizard of Oz.

    However you are planning to spend your day, enjoy.

    Love 7 hugs
    Cheryl xxxx

      My word you've made me dizzy with your not so busy day today. What on earth is a busy day like I wonder. As Janet said you'll meet yourself coming back.

  4. morning Everyone
    Well we have got the shortest day out of the way so the only way now is forward.

    SANDRA- two beautiful Christmas cards from VAL and MARGARET.

    Good luck with both appointments today.

    CHERYL- how can you say 'not so busy day today!!'
    I'm shattered after reading up to 'wrapping....... and then visiting'lol.
    Take care you don't meet yourself somewhere along the line.lol.

    I'm afraid I now have to use a swear word 'Housework' for today. I've already got the washer on so that's one job out of the way for a while and then it's just carry on as usual for a Friday.

    The CAFE is OPEN and waiting for you all to pop in.
    HUGS are on their way with loads of extras today for SANDRA and LILIAN.xxxx

    1. Hi Janet
      Cheryl made me feel dizzy with her not so busy day today. I just went to the chemist to make sure Pete got all his meds for Christmas. Walked home as Pete dropped me off on the way to go and see his friend and his wife. He's unwell and his wife is bedbound. Then we took Doreen to Chipping Norton to see Ellis's cousin whose husbands funeral we went to the other weekend. Now we're looking after Craig's children as they've gone up to friends for drinks and nibbles.

    It's always a surprise when I see a card of mine When I'm least expecting it. Glad you liked the cats Sandra. Hope the house viewing goes. Well this morning. Fingers crossed. Also hope the hospital visit goes well and you get some answers. Xxx

    MARGARET lovely Christmas card. Really cheery. Xxx

    Off to craft Club today. I'm taking chocolate biscuits and I know one of our ladies is taking mince pies so it will be more eating than crafting today I think.

    Have a good day whatever you're doing.

  7. Hi Sandra and ladies
    2 lovely cards today from Val and Margaret. I have the twin of Margaret's card, only it's been done as a tent card. I think it's one of the Pretty Quick set isn't it Margaret.
    Hope the house viewing went well today and that the cardiologist can give you some answers, I hope it's just stress related and not anything else.
    I hope you can get some answers as well Lilian. Fingers crossed for you both that The cardiologists have some answers for you both.

  10. Hello Sandra and ladies,
    Lovely cards from VAL and MARGARET. I loved MARIE’s yesterday.

    Hope the viewing went well this morning and you got some answers at the hospital this afternoon 🤞xx Also hope LILLIAN you got some answers from your consultant xx

    Sorry I didn’t get in yesterday, we went out early to go to our hairdresser friend and didn’t get back home until late, after eating we sat down to relax when a neighbour called . It was lovely to chat but after he left I was shattered.

    Have been out today to finish off our last minute Christmas shopping, the shops were crazy busy. Only the turkey to pick up now. Thank goodness.

    Goodnight dear friends, Love Brenda xxx
