Winter Vacation.......

....which in Melbourne is still 6 months away.  One of the Opus Gluei ladies is off on a cruise to avoid all the cold weather in the US at the moment, and here we are in Victoria, sweltering in yet another heat wave.  I hope the leaden skies overhead will drop some of their watery content right over my roses, but right now its just humid.  This is the day my air-conditioner has been waiting for - to convince me it was a necessary purchase.

So in spite of Deena reveling in summery warmth, I am dreaming of a cooler holiday, hence my ATCs to celebrate winter.  The first uses a new embossing folder and my almost forgotten Cuttlebug.

The image was a Christmas one I was going to use for decoupage, but seems to have been overlooked, and under the pearls are the embossed dots.

Then I got a little carried away, thinking I might crochet an ATC, but sanity re-surfaced and I compromised by crocheting a scarf instead.  Hate to think how long this little boy has sat waiting to be used.....

Now lets see what the other ladies have come up with for this challenge.
