Hi Everyone
I hope you have enjoyed your weekend .. .. .. and that extra hour we were treated to. What did you do with yours?
I'm not sure whether I spent mine having an extra long walk this afternoon with Mr Heart or whether I spent it pulling wallpaper off the walls in the kitchen?
Yes, we have finally got around to starting some decorating .. .. yay!!!
Whilst cooking our evening meal last night I decided to see how easily I could pull wallpaper off the wall and that was it .. .. .. another job created!! Mr Heart was very strong at concealing his disappointment at the thought of his least favourite pastime making an appearance .... DIY ... .. .. LOL!!! He needs to think himself lucky because if he had been married to my Mum he would be decorating every room in the house at least once a year!
So once back from our walk it was time to head to my little craft pod for a play with my snippets and this is what I came up:
This used another of the five images I purchased from Whimsy Dreams Clipart
Image: WhimsyDreamsClipart: Ethel
Image: WhimsyDreamsClipart: Ethel
Sentiment: Hero Arts ""DC170" Merry Stamp & Cut (but I didn't do any cutting)
Gold Embossing Powder
Glossy Accents
Gold Embossing Powder
Glossy Accents
My Trusty Sewing Machine
A stamping platform was used to add the "merry" sentiment, heat embossed four times to add a thick layer of gold lettering.
I am taking my card over to Pixie's Snippets Playground as everything but the card base came from snippet mountain, and I am also nipping over to the October Rudolph Days Challenge.
Nearly another month gone!! Eeeekkk!!!! This really has surprisingly been the fastest year ever!!
Hi Jules,hope your decorating goes well and doesn't take too long

That's a beautifully classic Christmas card. So simple yet packs a punch and definitely catches the eye with the gold 'Merry'. I have to admit, I absolutely hate decorating. In my house, we decorate one room but surprisingly every other room seems to be a mess and I don't do mess so I get very snippy very fast lol... I like the finished look but urgh, actually doing it meh! So good luck and have fun x
ReplyDeleteA beautiful traditional type card Jules. Hope your decorating goes well, something we need to do in the New Year I think x
ReplyDeleteYour card is so very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThis is so classy and absolutely stunning Jules...love that strong embossed merry it really makes a statement though I wonder how merry all our Christmases will be this year! Good luck with the decorating! xx
ReplyDeleteSo clean & classy & lovely! The gold embossing looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful Christmas card Jules, such an elegant design.
ReplyDeleteI don't envy you decorating the kitchen, I've told my hubby next time we decorate the kitchen I'm going away for a couple of weeks!

ReplyDeleteSorry about publishing both comments...I had already hit publish when I realized that I should have deleted.
I have my comments set to view first and then approve due to spam. That is why you could not see your comment. I could take it off now, but am afraid to touch anything with the new blogger!
I had the R Days post all done and ready to go and a few minutes before publish, I realized that the post was sitting on my other blog! For some reason my blog shows first to me on view, but as soon as I switch to design, it switches to the Christmas card Club that I am a member of with admin rights. I could not figure out how to cut and paste or even copy and paste in the new blogger, so I had to rewrite the post on the correct blog and delete the other...ugh...I do not like the new blogger at all!
Thanks for taking part in the October Rudolph Days Challenge.
A very classy CAS card Jules, love it.

ReplyDeleteOk, I give in you have me totally baffled as to where it is hidden on this card! Love the way you have created the sentiment. A beautiful classy card. Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteHi Jules,
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous CAS card and love the gold lettering.
Sounds like my husband, just needs to hear me mention anything physical and he goes deaf!! He is lucky, as I do all the decorating. He just knows that he has the job of cleaning up after me. Well I can't do it all. He is 3 years younger than me too!!!
Love and hugs,
Carol

We will gain our extra hour this weekend. Not sure what I will do with my extra hour. Yep, you created a job for sure. lol Poor Mr. Heart-well sounds like it was time for the "out with the old and in with the new" project!! Oh my, this card is gorgeous Jules! I have an image very closely to yours. I need to print it and CASE your card! It is just beautiful! And of course you have colored up the leaves and berries so beautifully. Hugs, Brenda

I'm so sorry I haven't commented for ages, Jules. I am trying to get organised and not just let one day slide into the next - maybe that way I'll remember what day of the week it is!
ReplyDeleteYour CAS Christmas card is lovely, so elegant.
Take care and stay well!
