Good morning. Well these two weeks have gone by again and this time it is my turn to choose the theme for our little group. I decided on Traditional Colours because if given the choice I generally go for non-trad, yet whenever I use reds and greens I always think how festive they look. This is not due until Sunday but as you know I post a day early because I have another DT card to post on Sunday. I don't blog frequently enough to post two on the same day!
My Card
Recipe
6" square base card

Please check back tomorrow and see what my CCC pals have come up with. You will find their blog addresses in my right side bar.
Hope you are all enjoying the weather. Yesterday was a wee bit cooler thankfully, although still hot, but it made me a bit happier. Although I still left going out to cut the grass until qute late in the evening.
Well that's it from me for today. Take care.

Good Morning Christine. Fabulous card, love the tartan paper just makes it pop. I love your wreath too. Thank you for choosing Traditional Colours as I really enjoyed doing this one. Have a nice Day. Hugs Rita xxxx
Lovely card. Thank you for this theme.
Love the beautiful background plaid, and of course that lovely green wreath and the red bow. That says Christmas anytime I see it. The tiny holly tucked in the corners is just another thing that sings Christmas I think. Very pretty card, and while I enjoy the non-traditional colors, I think the reds & greens are probably my favorite. Thanks for a fun theme, and Happy Sunday. Hugs
I love this Scottish plaid - it is definitely a symbol of Christmas and having hot mulled wine in a large hall being heated by a blazing fire in a gigantic stone fire place. Of course the Queen would be there with all of her dogs. While some might see every jot and tittle of your card, I see a magnificent Christmas in Scotland!
