Here it is  mid week and all is well .
 Spring is a springing , Doug is a happy chappy ,  Twiggy is ....well,  Twiggy and I am holding my weight so life is good .
Even better now that you are here of course.

Hello and welcome to my room , thank you so much for calling in .

Hey , are you over Christmas card making yet ?
I am .  Don't get me wrong I looove creating Christmas cards , browsing through blogs , magazines and pinterest for inspiration .
BUT ... isn't there  always a but!

By the time ..  about this time ,  I find that I have soaked up so much inspiration that I am overloaded but find that nothing I create  ever seems to be  as  amazing , awesome , stunning as that which I see elsewhere.
And that's ok because really , I am happy with my style .

This Christmas card is my offering for tonight.

Made especially for this challenge

Small card big message

Hi there welcome to my room and thank you for calling in .

It is a cool Sunday here in Adelaide . Not much doing here . Have crock pot on with dinner  simmering .

Doug is dozing in front of TV . Dare not go to switch it off because he will swear that he was watching the movie .

In the mean time ....

I am having another go at using some of my scraps and part kits .

I have some images and sentiments left over from a Kaszazz Christmas kit .

So using some new SU  Crumb Cake Note Cards 12.7cmx8.9cm , because they came with envelopes to match I created these little Christmas gems .

Talk about CAS . I think I will make a few more .  May be another scrap  bag emptied .

Would like to enter a challenge or two ...

Vintage Christmas

Remember when I said that I was so over Winter?
Heard the saying , "careful what you wish for."?

Well, I take it all back!!

Hello , welcome to my room . Thanks so much for calling in .


We have had record hot Spring days and I am thinking that I am not going to like Summer either .

But this morning was beautiful on the banks of the River Torrens . Photos  are on my face book page .

Tonight am sharing a couple of Christmas cards .

Printed material from Kraftyhands Create-It    magazine issue three.

                             This one was printed as for a 6x6 inch card.
                                  Love the images and paper.

 

This second card was for a A5 card  but I printed out as page set up on A5

and every thing came out to scale beautifully.

 

Both card bases were SU card stock from my stash .

Talking about kraftyhands . There is still time to enter October challenge -Tagtastic

Have a great week every one .

 Catch you again soon , cheers for now , Shirley-Anne.

Time for Him .

Hi there , welcome to my room .
Thanks for calling in .

Quite cold today . Doug decided not to get up this morning while Sandy and Fran were here for craft  session  . So he and Twiggy just rested and listened to the wireless and dozed on and off.

The girls and I enjoyed each others company while cutting and adhering images to create cards. Thanks to Fran bringing the jar of  gherkin  we could have our usual Jatz , cheese and gherkin serve with our coffee.

Will share two of the cards finished today .

First is a masculine card printed from  kraftyhands CD, Man about Town

                                                   

The card base I made 13cm square. Kit was  printed at A5 page set up .

The second card
                                                      
                                                          

                  Sorry not a great photo . This was printed from kraftyhands CD that came
 with Create-it       Magazine , Issue Three.      Also printed with page set up set for A5.

Late afternoon now and time to start dinner so....

                                                            


                      Catch you again soon , cheers for now , Shirley-Anne.

Pears and Partridges

Hi there . Welcome to my room and thanks for popping by .
Sure hope that all is well where ever you are .

 Twas a little cooler today and I spent a greater part of the afternoon playing with a new camera hubby bought me today . It was a dull day and I practiced with outside shots ..and inside with flash . Nothing worth sharing from outside pics but this was taken inside .
That is her rego tag under her chin !

Remember Twiggy ? She has settled down to be the most affectionate friend.
Still here ? Thanks for being patient .
I am so far behind with Christmas cards that I must get a wriggle on or some people will have store bought ones .
"better not be me!" I hear from  a couple of my friends ..LOL

I would like to share my latest card though and I hope that you like it .A pretty simple card design as is my style .

 

The card base is from SU . The papers and image from Kraftyhands CD
 That's it for tonight have some more crafting to do ..

                                             Start with what
                                               is right rather
                                                 than what is
                                                    acceptable .

The embossed layer is actually turquoise colour
The top note die is from SU and is a quick frame for this beautiful image which is a die cut but I die cut it again with a smaller circle die .

No paper for this one ..Card stock all SU , as is the sentiment .
