But in the meantime I have managed a little crafting this weekend, even though I need to put everything I've unpacked away.
But first, here's my card for the current challenge over on the CAS-ual Fridays blog.
In my little scraps bowl on my desk I had one lonely kraft pocket left just waiting for the right project. And as British Summer Time officially came to an end this morning and we're now well in dark autumnal mode, it's time to ramp up Christmas card production a little. So I made a Christmas card featuring a tag that can be pulled out to reveal a gift card, etc. I've also realised with the clocks changing that all photography needs to be done before 2 p.m. these days as the light is just too gloomy later in the day. :(
Paper: Studio Calico, October Afternoon, Crate Paper
Dies: PTI, MFT
Stamps: PTI
Other: pompom trim
The whole tag front has an aperture cut with the scallop heart and that tag pulls right out. With all the grey and red I thought a bit of extra colour was required, so got out the mistletoe dies from PTI and some scrap green cardstock.
Right, I suppose I'd best get on with the unpacking!

Oh, the card and tag are fabulous!! The different elements work beautifully. I love the mistletoe! I relate to your comments about photographing...it's hard when working with seasons and natural light. Thanks for joining us at CAS-ual Fridays!
