Dear Santa

 Hi there and welcome to April! Things have been really hectic here lately, which is why I have not had time to stamp or even stop by to comment! My Mum and Dad and a brother and sister-in-law arrived three weeks ago, and three days later we flew down to a nephew's wedding in North Carolina. We came back five days later having had a wonderful time with many of my family that had traveled over from Scotland, but unfortunately my hubbie also brought back Covid. (A guy sitting behind him on the plane was coughing the entire way). David's case was pretty bad, so he took Paxlovid two weeks ago. I ended up positive two days later, but because we were masking in the house and all sleeping in separate beds, my parents kept testing negative. I finally tested negative last Thursday and have stayed negative since. David still positive on Saturday, but he seems better this morning, so perhaps he's also done? Luckily my parents are here for three months, so the fact that we have had to lie low the past couple of weeks hasn't been so bad! The weather has been really nice, so we spend the days out in the fresh air as much as possible - lots to do in the yard! It was also my Dad's 91st birthday yesterday, so the three of us went for a little luncheon, which felt nice to get out! Anyway on to my card for the Christmas Craft Creations Challenge!  

This month we are asking for something humorous!

I don't have many funny stamps, but thought this old Sparkle N' Sprinkle stamp of Stella, would fit the bill!

I stamped her in my stamp platform in Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored her in with Copics and then she was die cut with an old Spellbinders die.

I found a couple of pieces of scrap papers in my box and layered them on to a red card base.

A white organdy ribbon finished off my card!

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope to see you join in the challenge with something humorous!

Till next time,

Shona
