The CAS Christmas Card challenge ......

Happy Tuesday ......

How are you?  I hope you're enjoying your week.

I'm going all festive again and playing along with this month's CAS Christmas Card Challenge ........ three month's in a row, not bad eh!  It's also their third birthday, so it would have been rude not to join in the celebrations.

Loll is the host this month, and the theme is ....... Kraft, Red and White  (I love this combination!)

I think this fits the bill ......

This was so quick and easy to do, the cute little die does all the work. 

It was simply cut from the centre of a piece of Kraft cardstock, layered onto a piece of red card and then attached onto the front of a white card base ........ I did cut the centre out from the red layer so that the white would show through and I didn't need to add another layer behind the reindeer.

I also added a touch of colour to the reindeer with a brown Distress Ink, and gave him a little red nose ...

and then finished off with a bit of sparkle onto his antlers and some white splatters to the background ..... he's soooo cute!!

For the sentiment I kept things small and simple but I did gold heat emboss.

Speaking of birthdays ......... Thank You to everyone for your birthday wishes, cards and gifts, you all make me feel very special.  I do appreciate it ......... mwah!

I had a lovely day/weekend even though we went into lockdown, again, just two days before (yes I spoke too soon!)  But, we celebrated anyway.  

Lauren had the whole evening planned ........ starting with pre dinner drinks at Oscars ........ otherwise known as our lounge.  

Then it was off to Wine Down for a meal (dining room) ......... with actual takeaway from the restaurant.

After that it was off to The British (aka the kitchen) for a sneaky G&T (sparkling appletiser for the little man of course!)  ....... you get the idea.

I won't bore you with all the pictures but, each room was a different venue.  

We went to 1886 (hubby's office) so we could catch the football.  The Saddle (the hallway) where Lauren had arranged for the King of Karaoke on the island ...... Mr Ray Sloane ..... to join us on video!!!!!  

And we finished the evening dancing the night away at The Courthouse, not a place I usually visit (or back in the lounge with YouTube music videos) .... what a night!  It was definitely a birthday to remember ....... thank you Lauren, it was amazing.

So, as I've said, we're back in lockdown for the third time, almost 12 months since it all started, with positive case numbers rising fast.  But, we've done this before so I'm sure we can do it again. We just need to stay at home!

Thanks for popping by .... enjoy the rest of your day.

Cheerio until next time  .........
