Christmas Card

Hello Everyone. Nice to have you drop by and thank you for calling in. We are going to an 80th birthday party today which starts off with Sunday Lunch in the Old Town so it should be a fun day.


At The Craft Room Challenge this time the theme is anything 3D


I made a fairly large Christmas card with some sewing and a folded Christmas Tree. The tutorial for making the folded tree is here if you would like to try it. I made the music sheet in Paint Shop Pro and the snowflakes were die cuts I have had for a while. Not sure what make the die is. I took the photograph with my wonderful Christmas Cactus as background it is full of very beautiful flowers.

I am also going to join Marina at My Perfect Life with this card-she has motivated me to make Christmas Cards a bit earlier this year.

Have a great day

Love Chrissie x

A fine bright day but colder today so I may fit in a walk later though I had some curtains to make before I do anything else. At Tag Tuesday this week the theme is Diva. I don't always remember to show my tags for there as you need to be a member and and do your own posts on Tag Tuesday's blog. I chose Elizabeth Taylor as my Diva she was so beautiful in films but definitely a Diva in her private life. Art Journal Journey are still drawing me in with the artists inspired theme so here is yet another page for the challenge there.  This was inspired by Damien Hirst though years ago I didn't feel inspired by his work at all when I saw some of it for real at the Liverpool Tate Gallery. We had gone there to see the wonderful Rodin sculpture 'The Kiss' which graced the entrance to the Gallery. Then we strayed into the next part and a whole wall was covered in dots. It didn't look like art to
