I like them, but . . .

they ain't my bag, baby !! :o)
 
Terri decided that we were to do a couple of non traditional type Christmas cards this month & I know that not only did I have a panic attack, but Liz, who is normally very quiet & self controlled, fainted on the spot !!
 
We had to get a man in uniform to revive her & then a dog with a barrel of *summat nice* to help her recover fully !! :o) 
 
Anyway, this is going to be a short blog - *HURRAY !!* I hear you cry - because I have a special cake to make today. Grandson 1b is 3 tomorrow & as we'll be seeing him in the afternoon, I want to make him a little birthday cake.
 
Anyhooooo - on to the cards. Only two from Terri's parcel so far, but I have 2 more in the planning stages :o)
 
 I loved this little image when I saw it & I just thought the colour of the scarf went so well with the colour of the background paper. NOT my idea of Christmas colours at all, but I do like the card :o) I think it'd be nice for a little girl.
 
 
  Blue is a very wintry colour, just right for putting with silver & making you go *brrrrrrrr* :o) Another image I loved when I saw it, I just thought that using a red greeting balanced out the red of Father Christmas's outfit. The backing paper was mine & I used a punch to make the snowflakes.
 
Now, she can't say I haven't departed from my usual custom, can she ??!! :o)
 
And now, it's housework/baking/gardening/ironing time. Not neccesarily in that order, though :o)
 
Have a fab Thursday, whatever you do & wherever you are :o)
