Hi Playmates
I hope all is good with everyone .. .. here very late with my entry for taking over to the Little Red Wagon Challenge.
This challenge always asks for something "a bit different" and I always enjoy playing along when I get chance. The theme this time has been another one inspired by an Elton John song "Candle in the Wind" and as lighthouses used to be lit with candles way back in the day I felt this image would be appropriate.
This used:
Image: Christmas Lighthouse Clipart from Fantasy Digitals (via Etsy)
Sentiment: Computer Generated
Backing Papers: More old papers from the Works plus glitter card
Ribbon
Tiny Gems
Corner Rounding Punch
My Trusty Sewing Machine
You might think it is a bit of a strange Christmas card .. .. but it is actually going to be perfect for special friends. They have spent lots of time sailing over the years, and the male of the couple actually used run a company that painted lighthouses. So hopefully it will make them smile.

i don't think I have ever seen a Christmas card featuring a lighthouse before, but there is a first time for everything and this is a very festive lighthouse and obviously perfect for your friends. Your papers match the colours brilliantly too. Thanks for your recent visit to me and kind comments too xx

Hi Jules,
what a fabulous Christmas card for your friends - just perfect!
I have just treated myself to some other Etsy clipart images - they are so cheap it would be rude not too!!
Hope your week is going well and things have settled down with your mum.
Love Eve xx
Love it! Always nice to make something a bit different!
A charming card and so apt for the recipient. Sorry you’re having such a tough time caring for your mum, but as you say crafting will always be there so you need to make the most of the time you have with her now. Dementia really is a very cruel illness. Take care xx❤️
