Greg's Christmas and Mum's Birthday cards

Well that's Christmas over and done with for another year!  We had the usual gathering and family feast down in Mum's... dinner always tastes better when someone else cooks it haha 😜.  I'm off work now till the 4th and so looking forward to recharging my batteries, clearing out cupboards and wardrobes, scoffing all the chocolates and, of course, a few movies in my PJ's!!  I'm also hoping to get time for some colouring classes, so we'll see how that goes! 

Anyway I've a couple of cards to share this evening.  Last card of the season was as usual for Greg.  I made variations of this for most of my cards, but had to add a little Molly to Greg's.


Simon Says Stamp Monday - let it snow
Allsorts #760/1 - cold and ice

And this is Mum's birthday card, very pink! Flowers from Altenew and I think the dies were from Creative-Depot; gold metallic paint splattered for the background and also to colour the butterflies.  I fussy cut the flowers and popped them and the main panel up on foam pads.


Snippets Playground #470 - anything but Christmas.  I don't get to play with the Snippets challenge as often as I like so I'm pleased to get this one added.  Lots of snippets on this... the butterflies and the diecut background (which is 3 small panels) are all cut from leftover white card
Word Art Wednesday - annual blog hop

And finally, here's a wee pic of Miss Molly.  Despite only being a good girl some of the time, Santa did bring her a lovely cosy winter coat, a squeaky Christmas tree and pressies from her Aunties and Uncles!  The doggy chocolates were a definite big hit! We were pleasantly surprised that she didn't bother with the tree, decorations or presents, a bit of a initial sniff and that was her happy!

Your cards are fabulous. I love little Molly on Greg's card. The card you sent to me is very similar with that cute little snowman popped up on a stenciled background. I LOVE it and will keep it for inspiration. I think the stenciled background is such a brilliant idea.

I'm sure your Mum will love her card, and the pink is refreshing to see after looking at Christmas colors for so long.

Love the addition of a Molly to Greg's card! Gorgeous work as always, Lynne. I love the sweet pic of Miss M. She's got such a distinctive little face, hasn't she. We had my mom in law and her dog, Bonnie, here yesterday. Bonnie was so good. She sniffed the tree, decided it wasn't edible and left it alone. Hugs, Jo x
