The girls won the 'skipping challenge' AGAIN! High heels abandoned, some had to hitch up long dresses, others were holding down short skirts! The sight of men suitably dressed in dinner suits and ranging in age from 20 to 60 trying to skip in a long line was hilarious, and of course the silly other half had to have a go too.....thankfully only thing that was injured was his pride!
Right onto the other serious stuff which is of course cards!
Here's a share from me for today -
This pic is pretty awful to be honest, but the light here is dreadful - a proper November day - grey and raining!
White linen textured card onto a silver matt base before layering onto base card.
The branch was cut out twice from snippets of card - one a bright white plain card and then a scrap of silver glitter card.
Silver piece layered over the white piece - (it does give the effect of a snowy top in real life but can't see it in the pic!) and then raised onto the card with 3d foam pads
A silver star also cut from an oddment and a piece of silver beaded cord wrapped round the branch to hang the star from.
Sentiment silver embossed.
Quite like this one! Might do a few more!
Off to the Playground with my snippets share for this week.

the year and 'Bowler of the Year'! (They're pretty good at skipping
too!!)

The Bowls dinner sounds like a fun night Viv, who knew there'd be skipping involved?! Glad hubby is still in one piece though. That's a lovely photo of you both too. I really like this card, it's a good one to make multiples of. The fact it used up some snippets is a bonus! I love the snowy branch effect and if I had a branch die I would CASE it. But I don't! xx
Looks like a good time was had by all Viv and a spiffing Sunday to follow as well.......................and that was without DS.
Today's card is oh so elegant, just shows how little you need sometimes to make a stunner.

Stunning CAS Christmas card Viv - it's perfection - and I can certainly see the white snow effect from the underneath layer of the branch! The single star has such impact.

I just love your card and its simplicity, just a touch of sparkle beautiful.
Great pictures of you and the girls sounds like it was a great evening out. My Dad used to play in a team at Wigston in Leicestershire and they used to win cups. I would have loved to have played but my disabilities stop me.

Ooooh love this one Viv...you seem to be on a roll! I like how you wrapped the beads round the branch too! Lovely photos of the ceremony.....will see you in the playground this week...bring the skipping rope!
A white card with sparkle is difficult to photograph, but I can imagine how it looks IRL based on my photos vs the live version. I think it looks beautiful, Viv.

I heard a lot of peeps were unhappy with what they got from Santa Last Year. Apparently one of the Evles stood on Santa's glasses.
Should ave gone to Specsavers!!!!
Oh wow!! I love bowls - they don't have it in the US that i've found yet (moved here 5 years ago). This card is stunning in its simplicity and elegance. I absolutely love the use of the chain - real wow factor. Thanks for sharing with us at AAA Cards :) - Jenny
