We had a lovely trip into the city yesterday as I had to collect my new glasses which I am really pleased with. It was quite busy but most people were keeping their distance and I felt more confident going in a few shops. I even went into The Works and bought some books and a new Christmas bunting die which I can't want tot use. We took advantage of the Dine out to Help Out half price scheme and had a cuppa when we arrived then lunch at Pizza Express where we also had a code for free dough balls. So altogether we spent £20 and saved £30. What a bargain.
The weather is going to hot up again tomorrow so we won't be needing hats and scarves unlike this snowman. I look forward to September when it will hopefully be a bit cooler. Yesterday was 19 which was perfect for me.
Anyway I made another Christmas card with another Penny Black stamp coloured with Copics. The papers are First Edition Jolly Holidays. I used a Go Kreate frilly 9 die and diecut some trees which I then smooshed with Dovecraft 3d earl effect green and white. I also used a Tonic snowflake punch and some glitter card.

You are braver than me Marianne, I'm yet to venture anywhere and desperately need to go to the optician as I'm still struggling without glasses since my eye ops in January/February, I can see miles now but nothing much close up.
Such a warm and cheery feel to your PB Christmas card.

Hi Marianne, gosh you are both brave to go to an eatery, I'm pretty clear that it won't be something we will be doing any time soon. Alistair is desperately needing his eyes tested, but the opticians have just started to look at routine procedures and there will be a quite a time to catch up with everything.
Your card is so sweet and a lovely design and colours, take care, Kate x
