CAS in red, white and green at CCC

Hello Lovelies - how are you? I was a bit under the weather yesterday so didn't get to the hospital to see Shaun but I'm hoping to be back to it today - it sounds as though things are going well with Shaun although his infection indicators are still up which is a worry. He's been strong enough to have his cuff down though and say a few words which is good. Looking forward to seeing him today!

Today I have my first three makes for the Christmas Card Club - the theme this fortnight is CAS in red, white and green - I have managed to make three very simple CAS cards:


All cards were made using goodies I bought during the Country View Crafts 24 days of Christmas - there were such bargains to be had - I'm afraid I rather over indulged!!!! Apart from the inevitable bill I'm very glad I did though! the stamps are both paperartsy and the die is a sue wilson poinsettia one.

I am going to try to keep up to doing three cards for each theme if at all possible but I'm not sure how long that will last.

Hoping that the new Year is treating you well - I hope you will join in my surprise candy - only a few days to go now! Big hugs!

Rachel xx

  18. WOW! Three cards for the CCC - with all you have going in your life, I am overwhelmed at your industriousness! And each one is a beauty, but I'll fess up that I'm in love with the SW poinsettia. I love those dies, and haven't collected this one as yet. So happy to hear that Shaun is improving day by day, and can guess it is so frustrating at times. But since you see improvement, hopefully you can ease the frustration to the background with a hug. I'm so thankful for you all that this is getting well on the way to recovery again. Hope that your Christmas & New Year was a good one for your family, and that 2015 will see all this health issue as just a very bad memory. God Bless and TFS. Big hugs to all of you.

    Love your three cards...I've just discovered Paper Artsy stamps and feel sure a few more will creep into my stash over the course of the year. Thanks for joining me with the first CCC challenge of the year.
    Take care, hugs Carol x
