It's Friday - December 24th - one more sleep!

Morning readers, 

I've a make to share with you today ....... I'm trying to use some of my older stash again - I've had this set since February of 2010!!! I didn't set out to make YET another thank you card but it just sort of evolved since both the image and sentiment appear in the same rather fab, but much neglected, stamp set!

My 4" square Kraft card

Materials used:
  • Kraft, 300gsm, 4" square card and matching envelope
  • Kraft card, cut to fit
  • Inkadinkado image and sentiment (from 97617) stamped using Versafine Clair shady lane (it's actually a greyish green although it looks very grey on the Kraft card) and nocturne inks
  • Tiny self adhesive crystal gemstones for the flower centres - to add a little bling

I'll be entering the above make for the following challenges:-
  1. Krafty Chicks - challenge No. 591 - ALL OCCASIONS
  2. Penny's Paper Crafty - challenge No. 511 - ANYTHING GOES
  3. Paper Funday - December challenge - ANYTHING GOES + (optional) HOLIDAYS
  4. Water Cooler Wednesday - challenge No. 331 - ANYTHING GOES
  5. Crafty Sentiments - Dec 14th challenge - ANYTHING GOES

Enjoyed my last pre-Christmas get together with friends earlier in the week, all Covid complaint and we'd all tested negative before meeting. It was so lovely to be able to meet and we exchanged gifts over a very tasty lunch. How tasty? VERY ... check out our lunches ....

L-R: the traditional roast turkey platter, the pork belly
and the roasted vegetable parcel

That's it now, the drawbridge is up here at the Purple Palace, until after Christmas ..  ENJOY your festivities, whatever they involve and - MERRY CHRISTMAS

The food at your festive meet up looks wonderful. I'm glad you enjoyed the event.

Terrific square thank you card. Like the look of that ink colour too (may have to investigate!).

Wishing you peace and joy. Ho Ho Ho!

Hugs, Sarn xxx

Gorgeous flowers framing that wonderful swirly sentiment Kathy, and love the little sparkly gem centres you have given the flowers. Glad you were able to meet up with your friends this week and the food looks yummy. Thank you for all your visits during the year and have a very Happy Christmas. x
