My plans for Christmas, like so many others, have been put on hold. We usually have a big family meet up with local family members on Christmas Day and the wider family over New Year. This is our traditional Christmas 2 Celebration. For Christmas Day I try to make individual personalized crackers for every person there. This year I did not get around to it and even if I had we will not be sharing them together. I used the lovely image from Stampers Delights to make just one cracker, inspiration for next year! Of course this image would work equally well for a birthday card too.

So if you are inspired why not take a look at the Kit and Clowder Facebook page where you will find other wonderful inspirational makes as well as all the details for this year's Advent Calendar. All the links are below.

This is my final DT make for Stampers Delights as I am leaving the team to attend to family matters. It is possible that I may return at some stage but it will not be for some time so I am making no promises. I may pop up with the odd progressive challenge entry and I will be keeping an eye on Stampers Delights for all the new and exciting things planned for 2021.

Meanwhile I wish you all a happy and blessed Christmas and even though we cannot celebrate as we normally would the real meaning of Christmas has not changed, the churches are still open and Jesus still invites us into relationship with him. So this year why not put Christ back into Christmas for with out him Christmas just becomes mas which is meaningless.

Christmas Rejoicing

This is my last post for A Path of Positivity Challenge for some time as a DT Member. I have really enjoyed my long association with the challenge firstly as a contestant and for the last few years as a designer. But life has got in the way and I need to take a bit of a breather from the teams I am on. I hope to pop in with the odd entry to support the challenge from time to time.

Meanwhile despite everything that is going on we will be rejoicing this Christmas as we remember the coming of Jesus into the world to save us and looking forward to the time when he returns as King of Israel and ruler of the world. What rejoicing will happen then, I believe even more so than at His first coming.

However you celebrate this year and whether you have a Christian faith, a member of another faith tradition or no faith at all I pray that the Christ of Christmas will reveal himself to you afresh and surround you with his love and that peace that passes all understanding at Christmas and into the unknown paths of the new year. 

God bless.

Rejoicing Along the Path of Positivity

 Who could have predicted at the end of 2019 what 2020 would have in store for us. But a we reach the end of a difficult year which for many has been one of immense sadness with so many loved ones no longer with us we can look back and remember the positive times too. Many of our themes this year have encouraged us to do that. Last month, for example, we looked at the things that make us grateful. This month we finish the year off by looking at the theme of Rejoicing.

Of course Christmas is a major Christian festival celebrating the first coming of Jesus into our fallen world and looking forward to his return as king. Without Christ there would be no Christmas. This year with Covid still a huge threat many have been worried about not being able to meet up with friends and family over Christmas. However, much as I love getting together with the rest of our scattered clan, Christmas is so much more than the partying and presents. I admit I am sad at the thought that we might not be able to get together this year, especially as it is our Grandson's first Christmas and a baby is at the heart of the story, but I would rather celebrate alone than risk the health of loved ones. So our Christmas plans are on hold for a while, waiting to see what happens. Very apt as we embark on Advent, that wonderful time of anticipation and waiting. 

However you celebrate this year I hope that you are able to join in with the angels and rejoice that God's plan of salvation started with that first Christmas over 2000 years ago.

Philipians 4:4-7 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!  Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.  Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Stampers Delights November Progressive Challenge

As we are now over half way through November I am a bit late with this one but better late than never.

Materials used:

Stampers Delights: Xmas Happy Elf (available by request from the Facebook Page) 

5" x 7" card blank

gold mirri card

X-Press It card

gold pen

Copic pens:

skin - E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R20

Confession time, this was originally going to be a tag but I did not have enough gold mirri card in my bits box. The border around the card is deliberately squiggly, a sneaky way to hide the fact that I cannot draw straight lines freehand!

There is still time to join in with the challenge so why not pop over to the Stampers Delights Fan Page on Facebook and request the image. If you need more inspiration you can find plenty on Facebook and the Stampers Delights Inspiration Blog.
