Christmas Trees

 Myt lovely friend , Kim, gifted me a Stampin' Up set of  Christmas Trees when I was visiting her and I just had to ink one of them up.   Kim as almost a full set of Gina K inks - (and I don't have any!)  so I thought the Medium Spruce would be perfect to use

I made myself a mask from light weight card by cutting out a master layout die and then used whatever ink was on a green and blue brush.  I stamped once with the full strength Medium Spruce and once second generation.  Did this three times - added a sentiment from the set and my CAS Christmas card was done. 

I am still enjoying my time here in Perth.  Today was a bit of a wet one.  Emma and I (plus Finn) went to the outlet stores and I got some really good bargains - walking shoes more then 50% off, a $40 bra for $12.00 and a few other bits and bobs.   All in all, a good way to spend some time on a rainy day.  Home for lunch and then got my Finn cuddles as I held him while he slept - not as long as yesterday when he slept on my for more than 2 hours.  

We enjoyed sitting on the couch with the sun streaming in.    Only a few more days - heading home on Saturday evening.

Hello, Dawn! I couldn't properly thank you for your kind words this morning [the dratted no-reply blogger bit continues to haunt us, doesn't it?]
What better way to say thank you than to return the visit?
I really like your 'scribbled' Spruce! But I loved reading about your visit and crafty time spent with your friend Kim and your darling Finn!
Thank you so much for your kindness today!
