Our Beautiful World - Together and a Christmas Card

Hi ladies, I have been away from Thursday to Sunday in the North of France in the region of the Alps - just beautiful.

The prompt this week is TOGETHER, and these two love birds, one is my son, (the same ones in the canoe which I shared for STRONG) - sharing a double beach chair.



Dally and Dotty sharing a dirt bath together.



I'm also sharing the first Christmas card I've made this year. It's October already and I think I will be needing a couple of months, so I'd better get started.


I used the Post Card Stamp from Hero Arts. The trees are stamped and turned over so that the ink is not seen. I received the die cut poinsettias from Betty, so happy with them - thanks once again. The deer was sent by Sue with many more! Lovely to have a little stock of these. The postmark is a stamp which I received free with an order maybe five years ago from  Crafty Individuals. A lady asked me about that a while ago but I couldn't contact her. The definition stamp Joy to You is a Christmas stamp from Hero Arts.

Thanks always for visiting!
Jacqueline

  17. Stunning card!!. I LOVE that you snapped the photo of the love birds candidly :). Makes me think about a scene from the movie 'A Letter to Juliette' when the grandmother peeking through upstairs window, and saw lovebirds on the grass below :).
