*** Christmas at Fab'n'Funky"

Hello friends,

I couldn't resist joining the Fab team at Fab'n'Funky today because they have

a Christmas theme hosted by our lovely Buffy.  

I really need to start ramping up my stash of xmas cards.

Fab'n'Funky Challenge #495


I've used a MB Country Church frame to make this card.

Lots of shiny silver card used which made it very difficult to photograph 

but hopefully you can see a little of how this looks irl.  

Sentiment is a stamp from MFT

Hello everyone,

 We are enjoying the last long weekend of the summer.
Our daughter and SIL are popping over for a short visit tomorrow morning.
We will be having coffee and home made cinnamon buns outside on the patio.
Mike is a high school teacher so we will be back to distancing
with the family until we know more.
Those much needed hugs were short lived I'm afraid, and yes I am worried.

Today starts a new challenge at

December rolls around so thought this would be a good one for me.
The stamp, sentiment and die set are MFT Happy Llama Days
