A Groovi Christmas Tree Challenge card

 

Good Morning Ladies,

Well what did you think of the new Covid prevention Rules?  More Tiers, but which one will you be in I wonder??  I couldn't even guess where we would be, I can't help but think that this is just going to prolong getting on top of this Virus, I fear that there will be another lockdown looming in the New Year, the people that have exacerbated the spread of this hideous virus will no doubt be back to their raves and crowding the streets in our towns and cities, in all honesty it makes you want shut your doors, close your curtains and hibernate for the Winter.  

I was trying to explain to my family over the weekend that if we all want to have the best possible Christmas next year we need to be extra careful this year, cutting back on seeing family and friends if only to ensure that the people that you dearly want to celebrate with are still around and able to celebrate with next year.  Our Christmas day will just be our little 'Bubble' of 4, which is not ideal but with Matt and Becca being vulnerable due to their medication it is the safest option for everyone, their partners are having to make sacrifices too. Becca and her partner were supposed to working this Christmas as their pub opens on Christmas Day, providing an all day Christmas Dinner buffet for people in the town that are on their own, which I think is a lovely idea, however how the latest Tier restrictions will affect that is yet to be seen.  I will just carry on being the nagging Mum that keeps reminding her to take every precaution to stay safe.   I was speaking to my sister yesterday that works on a Critical care ward, they have to do an Audit each week on the numbers of patients on the ward, she explained that the numbers are worrying at best.  

Today's totally flat Christmas card is a Groovi card, made using the 'Christmas Tree' Groovi plate, I kept the design simple and all I did to add to the design was to add for little corner pieces.  I really love this card and think that it would be easy to batch make, adding little dots of glitter around the tree really gives that extra 'sparkle' that all good Christmas card needs!  These Groovi cards look so effective despite being one layer, you can see how much detail has been embossed into the design making any recipient feel lucky to receive one.  ( well I know I feel lucky, particularly as I know how much work has gone into each element) 

I hope that you all have a lovely day, please stay home and more importantly stay safe,

Sending huge virtual hugs, lots of love too,
