Today I am sharing this soft neutral card featuring the Pion Design collection "Christmas Wishes". I just love all these vintage gingerbread images, so fun that I can almost smell the gingerbread cookies in the oven!

This is my favourite time of year for the reeds around the lake. The are so big and fluffy and they look so soft and beautiful as they sway back and forth in the wind. This shot was taken early in the morning while it was still fairly dark out.
This is only the second time I've ever captured a White Breasted Nuthatch on camera! There's not many of them around here!
"WILL DANCE FOR FOOD"
~Mr Cardinal~
"Oh crap! I'm gonna need a bigger mouth!"
~Scarlet~
"I heard you coming, you know! You're not as quiet as you think you are!"
~Winston~
"Yeah yeah, good morning human. Enough chit chat, is the buffet ready or not!"
~Teddy~
"Oh no, you did not just say that! I thought you said you brought veggies today instead of peanuts, but you're joking right!!"
~Princess Tabitha~
That's it for today. Thank you for stopping in and for all the amazing comments. If you have any questions or interesting tidbits about today's wildlife, please let me know.
Gorgeous, lacy card and wonderful photos. Have a lovely day, hugs, Valerie

Oh wow!! I so love the way you layer your papers and laces, etc. Pamellia, and I really love the neutral colours too. This card looks so elegant and so beautiful!! The flowers are stunning and are my eyes deceiving me or are those real tiny foam balls you've scattered around the card .. they look fabulous!!! Pure magic!!
ReplyDeleteYour little squirrel friends are looking lovely and plump .. guess they are ready for the cold weather when it comes. We've had some cool days down here and a bit of rain as well. Wouldn't know it was Summer at all!! Must say though, I do prefer it cool, even though I know it won't last!!
Have a fabulous day my friend!! hugs xx!
Oh wow, Pamellia, this is spectacular!! I love the colors!! The layers are so amazing!! I love the bits of beautiful laces peeking out!! Those trees are fabulous!! The flowers and all of the details - stunning!! I love this, my friend!! It's so elegant and gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteThe picture of the reed is so peaceful and beautiful!! I have a slight obsession with ornamental grasses and have planted several around the yard :) The birds are beautiful and the squirrels are so sweet!! In my head, I hear their voices when I read your captions ;) I hope you have a wonderful day!! It's freezing here...literally. We aren't supposed to get above the freezing mark all day. Snow in the forecast for the next few days. Even though I'm not ready, winter seems to be coming anyway!! Have a great day, sweet friend!! Big hugs :)

Oh, what a beautiful card, Pamellia! Love all the layers, lace and fabric flowers. Love seeing all your critter friends--makes me smile! No snow here yet. Temperatures, though, are finally getting colder. Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteStunning Pamellia ! All my favourite colours and such gorgeous layering with all the lace. Your wildlife photos are so beautiful and everywhere is so calm unlike here where we are just feeling the first effects of Storm Caroline (far worse to come yet!). Jennie x
ReplyDeleteOh, yes! I love the neutral palette and of course, all your frilly layers! Great way to use those border strips, too! Those flowers are so gorgeous, and those laces and trims really steal the show! The heat with the snowflake on it is just the kind of details on your cards that make them so special to me!
ReplyDeleteYour photos/captions are just delightful today! I especially love the cardinal doing his dance! Always a good day when I visit your inspiring blog! Sending great big hugs!
PS I just had to mention those snowballs, too! Squeal!
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous card, those colours you use always go so beautifully together.
ReplyDeleteThe furry and feathered friends must be waiting for you, great photos. if only they could speak to us, what would they say.

ReplyDeleteAgain with these crazy critters- making me laugh! hey, is Mr. Cardinal on the skinny side or just the way he posed?

Thanks Jackie! The Cardinal shot was taken a few weeks ago, so he hasn't put on his winter weight yet. lol. I think it's mostly his stretched out pose.
DeleteGorgeous card Pamellia, love the colour tones and beautiful papers, with your amazing layers of decorations.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos, your animals are adorable.
Hugs Pam x

Adorable sweet card with these neutral tones, Pamellia! Love all the layers and the pine cones into the flowers center! Amazing papers too!
ReplyDeleteThe White Breasted Nuthatch seems a bird that lives in my zone, so glad to see him also with you :D The reeds, too! :)
I'm giggling for the cardinal dance, such fun guy!! Scarlet, Winston, Teddy, Princess Tabitha... they are all so cute (and fun with your words! )
Big hugs
Another fabulous Christmas cards, what gorgeous papers and wonderful design. I love all of the lace and whispy bits, they make the card look very frosty.
