Last Christmas card 2019

Hello visitors 

Welcome to my room and thank you for calling in . 

Merry Christmas to all my Family ,friends and visitors here .
May the New Year that follows
bring you all that you are hoping for .

To share today is most likely the last Christmas card for 2019

I found an unmade kit in my stash  and although it is of non traditional Christmas colours I 

Think that I can make it work .

Basic Black card base .White card stock as  inside card base 

Inside front with Pinterest found Father Christmas image fussy cut

and tree from SU set Winter Woods.

Sentiment from SU set Watercolor Christmas 

Hope that you found this unusual fold card interesting 

Now before you go , there is another card which I am keen to share .

Just had to share a beautiful card sent to me from Carmen Barnes 

Love the shadow technique with the sentiment and that gorgeous butterfly.

I appreciate it Carmen . Thanks for allowing me to share .

And now to close my post . 

The most precious gift you can give is your time .To give of your time freely , happily and generously can enrich your own life too .

Friends can help you celebrate good times and provide support during bad times. Friends prevent loneliness and give you a chance to offer needed companionship, too. Friends can also: Increase your sense of belonging and purpose.

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

PS .Did I make it work?

I had a hoot!

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

Well we had a warm couple of  days  here in Adelaide but forecast is for normal Autumn weather for the rest of the week .
Had Fran and Sandy here this morning for card making and as always enjoyed their company .
The last couple of days I have been playing with the CD from the Kraftyhands  magazine #1

        

The magazine is a perfect accompaniment to the CD .
 Apart from each digital  card kit sketch there are  easy steps for the card construction . Hints and tips and variations on every page to encourage and enthuse you . Beautiful large and clear photos for each project over two pages so no tiny thumbnail pictures to work from . The CD itself is not just stuck to the front of magazine ..oh no ! On the back page there is a sturdy  pouch  for the CD for perfect storage .
 There are also internet links to  YouTube video tutorials of all the projects .

This time I went to project 4, printed out the two A4 pages for the card kit and cut everything out .

This card is virtually as suggested . The next two are my ideas using balance of images from  kit .
In these instances I have used SU papers and ribbon

 

Hope that you like these fun cards as much as I enjoyed making them .

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

A new park member

 

Hi there , welcome to my room .
Very hot here in Adelaide today . But weather be hot or cold our dogs need a run so Doug and I went to the nearest park .Luckily I had the new camera , which Doug had bought for me recently .
Managed to capture a new addition to our park . Don't you just love digital cameras ? I took 20 shots then came home and fiddled with Windows to find best shot . Lots of shadows and shooting into sun but with a little ..no lots actually , editing , this is the best I have to share. I could get to like photography !

Back to cards to share . This image is so well used that there is no ID left on block . coloured with various SU markers with aqua pen . Feather from stash .

Thinking along the lines of ..although I am sitting in my room appearing like I am doing nothing , I am really searching my memory bank for a particular card design .....

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