Good morning, Friday again already and less than a month now until Christmas- it will be over before we know it! Just hoping that it won't be cancelled again after hearing about the new super-duper variant of Covid in South Africa. Deep joy, My young niece and nephew both have the virus at the moment- Maddie for the second time- will it ever stop! Ok, enough of the whining and doom and gloom and on to happier things.
This week's challenge at Crafty Catz is sponsored by
Prize $6 gift certificate

Ginny is hosting this week and the theme she has picked for the DT is Christmas- non traditional colours-the theme is entirely optional for anyone who wishes top play along.
I have used a beautiful sponsor image ,Christmas skates, printed onto grey/blue cardstock and coloured with Polychromo pencils and placed inside a die cut kraft frame, I've added a die cut snowflake border die, blue gems and a stamped sentiment. The background panel is the same blue/grey cardstock embossed with snowflakes.
As always there are some beautiful creations to admire from my lovely teamies over on the DT blog,so please do take the time to hop over and take a look- while you're there check out the details of our DT call - it might be just what you're looking for!
I'm going Christmas shopping today, mask at the ready, trying to get what I need before everywhere gets too busy- wish me luck!
Thank you for visiting
Chris

Beautiful card Chris, a lovely design. xx
Oh that's stunning Chris - I love the image and your colouring is gorgeous! Great details on the embellishments and embossing.
I'm not really bothered if Christmas is cancelled, not that into it anyway, but am keeping an eye on the news about the new variant of Covid - so hoping that it doesn't take hold.

The Skates image is really lovely and so realistic, the colour palette uses is also very pleasing on the eye and all built up to a lovely card Chris.

Oh Chris this is beautiful I love everything about it, the colour, the embossed background, the die cuts and last but not least that wonderful image a super festive creation. It is so scary with this bug it keeps mutating and there seem to be more and more people catching it, fortunately I only go shopping and always wear a mask, and to my mums, maybe one day we will start to feel safe.

Hi Chris,
Happy Rudolf Days.
Oh I love this card and the colours used it looks brill in those colours.
As usual your colouring is perfectly done too.
I am currently in isolation as I had lunch at my Son's last weekend and we picked up my Grandson from work in his car as he is learning to drive.
He had a cold and tested negative on Sunday morning before work.
Monday morning tested posative so I have been isolating.
No signs of it so far did a test yesterday and it was negative thank goodness.
My Grandson was so upset thinking he had given it to me as I sat beside him in the car on his way home.
He also had his test booked in for Tuesday what a pain as he was looking forward to it, and also he is in the sixth form and works weekends and evenings and was hoping to do some overtime to make money for Christmas presents.
Happy Shopping.
Thank you for joining the Rudolf Challenge.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L. DT
Another beautifully colored image, Chris! Always love the combination of kraft and blue! The pop of white snowflakes is stunning!
Your card really caught my attention, it’s wonderful, love the blue and Kraft combination and the way you colored those skates.
That's lovely Chris. Love the touches of blue, they really pop!
Hope all well with your poorly ones.
