Lots of White

Hello everyone! I'm back from a 10 day overseas trip to visit my family in Germany. It was my first time in over 25 years to fly alone, the thought of it stressed me out but as my dad doesn't want to travel this far anymore I decided to give it a try. Happy to report that all went really well and I had a wonderful time visiting with my family and it was great to be there during Advent season to visit some Christmas markets too :)

This week it's my turn to host at Allsorts challenge I chose the optional theme of "Lots of  White". As always there is the Anything Goes option too. We have prizes from Aall and Create. 

For my card I decided to use the beautiful Penny Black die Deer in Tree. I used brushed silver cardstock which was part of a Hero Arts My Monthly Hero kit from a few years ago for the die cut. The background was embossed using and old Cuttlebug embossing folder. Sentiment is from a clear set by Flourishes purchased from eBay a few years ago.

A quick and simple card to make but I like how it turned out.

I did take lots of pictures while overseas but most include family or strangers around town so I am only sharing a couple of pictures of closeby towns I went sightseeing at and visited the Christmas markets in these towns too as they are all in the "old town" pedestrian areas we walked through, and enjoyed some Glühwein (hot mulled wine) at dusk - the only wine I like. Each town was so pretty all lit up for the festive season.
