Today I have shared a DT card for Christmas Card Challenge #39

I have printed material for this card from Create It magazine from Kraftyhands 

I printed  out on Very Vanilla card stock, SU . Added a green card stock matte .

I changed the page settings to A5 size thus creating an C6 sized card .

Got to a dentist who , after x-rays,  saw that Doug had 3 abscesses under 3 separate bottom  teeth and put him on antibiotics . More work to do next week .

Today I was thankful that the new Kraftyhands Create-It issue 5 turned up so that I could quickly make up a card for Christmas card Challenges #36

Luckily the theme is Any Thing Goes

Photography for Tag Tuesday

I love Tag Tuesday and the variety of themes suggested each week . Thank you to the admin personnel for all their contributions .

And as always thanks to those who visit my postings and leave some blog love . Much appreciated .

And now for my tag .    Photography

One of my grand sons is still a little way yet from reaching this milestone and I am wondering if he remembers this photo being taken . Probably not .
Isn't photography ,  the written word as well as that which is spoken a wonderful way to record our lives .

A pre printed tag from Becky Higgins with some embellishments from my stash .An image from SU stamp set , Traveller.  Along with a photo of mine .

Talking about photos if you would like to see some of mine , I have them at these links
