Grey and Red for the CAS Christmas challenge ........

Happy Wednesday ........

It's the middle of a very wet and windy week here on the Isle of Man ..... not very nice at all.  It's definitely weather for staying warm and cosy at home ...... time to get the winter woollies out I think!

There's still quite a festive feel going on in the craft room after World Cardmaking Day at the beginning of the month (which reminds me, I must share the rest of my cards with you!)
My favourite festive stamps are out, there's glitter everywhere, and oooh, there's some new Christmas stamps appeared in there too ....... I wonder how that happened!!  Now I just need to decide what to do with them.

There's already a few cards in the festive stash, thanks to the CAS Christmas Challenge, and I'm playing along with another one this month
It's a colour challenge for October ...... Gray and Red


As I said, I do have some new stamps to play with but, I have to use this little guy at least once every year ......



Stamped in grey Versafine Clair ink, and coloured with a red ZIG Marker, this really was so quick and easy ...... one layer too, so great for popping in the post!


The sentiment was stamped in red, and I added a few snowflakes for a litle extra detail



A touch of sparkle to finish with some fine crystal glitter, and we're all done! Told you it was quick and easy.


Speaking of the festive season, the local garden centre is launching it's Christmas Display this evening ..... yes it's that time of year again! 
We'll be popping in later to have a look.  Well, I have new space to decorate this year, I need some 
ideas.  And, there's always room for a pretty new bauble, or two, on the tree!

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

Cheerio until next time ........
