Merry & Bright ~ Challenge #48 at Completely Christmas

Well another week down and that's the end of January. All my regular activities are starting up again and I'll have to get back into the routine of regular craft sessions and making cards for my Wednesday group ladies to do. In fact that is what I have to organise over the next couple of days.
I rang a couple of friends earlier today to see if they wanted to come with me to the craft shop, one was away off on a river boat and the other said yes. So armed with a request from my friend who couldn't come and the mission to buy a couple of copic ink refills for myself we headed out. Several dies later, lol, I remembered that I wanted the ink refills and the acid free tissue paper for my friend. Paid the larger bill than I had planned and laughed when my friend paid her bill as well. Do you do that? go in for one thing and come out with quite a bit more!!! Anyway, we enjoyed our time at the shop and he had changed things around a bit and opened up two new rooms full of craft material. Lunch and coffee finished our outing just right.
Anyway..... the reason for my post is to share my DT card for the new challenge at Completely Christmas Challenges. This week is our usual ATG but there is a twist of making a square or rectangular card.
Our sponsor this week is Lacy Sunshine Stamps

Nearly time to start thinking about tonight's meal, but I might just go and sit at my craft table just for a little bit and try out one of my new dies, lol.
