Sweetest ever season!


Happy Monday!

I'm starting my week with another Christmas card,
this time using a retired stamp set and retired papers!
Go me!!
The stamp set is called So Santa and it's a very cute set.
I used my score board for the lines to add texture
and the theme and sketch are from

I would like to enter this into

I had a crazy day yesterday!
I decided to make some apple and blackcurrant crumble, prepared
two big dishes and popped the oven on to heat up.
Well it didn't! I pulled out the air oven thingy and my tins wouldn't fit
so had to carefully lift layers of the crumble into suitable bowls to cook.
It did taste lovely though 😁
Then, heavy rain and winds arrived and yes, we had yet another leak!
Seriously, I was suitably stressed out yesterday!
Today I am trying to keep calm and carry on!

I hope you all have a lovely stress free week!!

Cute image, fabulous papers and layout, love the red and white combo- so festive and cheerful.
Glad the crumble turned out good in the end, I don't eat dessert very often but do find it hard to resist a lovely home made crumble (so I don't!)Not surprised you were stressed with bad weather and another leak!!! Hope today is better. xxx

This is super cute! Love all the texture you did with your scoring tool. I'm glad you stuck with it on the crumble - at least you had something yummy to eat while the roof leaked. Bummer. Hope things turn around for you. Thanks for playing over at TSOT.

Love your embossing lines, the Great Santa image and the pretty design. I make my crumble, enough for 4 in a loaf foil tin, goes into the Air Fryer when the apple etc is cooked for 7 minutes, - beautiful and yummy, as I guess yours was.

Patricia, what a wonderful holiday card! I love the bright colors you chose and your clever scoring for your card background!! Isn't it wonderful when you pull out one of your older stamps that's just perfect for the card you want to make??? Thank you for sharing your card and clever technique with us at Try Stampin' on Tuesday!!! -Donna
