a christmas carol at CCC

Hello there! How are you? I am good but life has been very busy the last few days - I went to see an ABBA tribute band on Friday night - that was fabulous! I haven't danced so much in a very long time! On Saturday I took the rainbows to a Gruffalo badge day - they had lots of fun and were all smiles by the end of the day! And later today - well we have rehersals for our Plays in Maytime - the girls are both in one play, I am in a second play and there is also a third! Thats next weekend! Phew - super busy!

So today the theme at CCC is a card based on a Christmas Carol ... I wanted to use  a new stamp I bought from Port Sunlight - so I chose the Carol - In the bleak mid winter - and based it around that.


The hare stamp is from Hobby Art - I just love hares so I had to have both of the new sets and I hope to use them in may different ways - I love that I have got him on a Christmas card! Well two!!!


Here's a closer look at the unglittered one - I prefer this!

I hope you have a great Sunday!

Lots and love and hugs

  4. Hares are such wonderful creatures and yours looks beautiful on your Christmas cards. I never really thought about it until now but I wonder why hares don't feature more on Christmas cards... great idea Rachel! Hugs, Anne xx
