Learning Something New Every Day

Today I am learning about using iCloud to sync photos to my computer and devices.  I did do it.   Hooray!  Hope I remember how I did later.  Then, I created this card from one of the images I created using my phone after deleting and adding several features.

NOTECARD/CHRISTMAS CARD

Merry Christmas!

Emma

Emma is wanting to get out of that dang dress and get back in jeans. Dresses are definitely not her thing. Her wings and halo become invisible when her antics commence. She is one mischievous angel.

Here is a little bit of background...Emma is OOAK. What the heck is that? OOAK=One of A Kind. Years ago, while expecting my daughter, I purchased a doll called, "Fanny the Fallen Angel." Every Christmas Fanny sat under our tree. Now my daughter has Fanny at her house. I wanted a doll to put under our Christmas tree and the result is Emma. I first saw a picture of a similar vent figure on a website and fell in love with her. For one reason or another, that order fell through. A year or two later, I stumbled across the maker of Emma online and voila...here she is. Wow, isn't synchronicity amazing? This card (first draft) posted yesterday will be for my daughter when completed. My images often change...who knows how this one will evolve. We will see...the elves are busy...

Playing Around with Angel Photo

Finally took a time out to do a photo shoot of Emma as our little angel. Not sure if I will use it as a card, but am thinking about that possibility. We'll see...

Holiday Wishes To You and Yours

Merry Christmas--Is Anybody Out There?

The holiday season must be keeping folks very busy. Visitor comments have dropped off and I miss hearing from y'all. Yooooo hooooo...come on in...put your feet up...have some coffee. And, if you can...before you leave...let me know what you think. Thanks!

This morning I finished addressing Christmas cards and will take them to the Post Office today. Oh, oh...I changed my mind again. I like the FROST FRAKTUR image better than the ornament. Folks receiving the real-life Fraktur card will be able to frame it. Here is my online adaptation:

And... I must say:

I wish you the happiest holiday ever and the very best in 2009. May all your dreams come true.

A Woman Can Change Her Mind

Woke up this morning with a head cold. Darn. Well, life goes on... so... I started experimenting with card possibilities. I like the first image best (red and green didn't cut it)...So...Here is the result:

SILENT NIGHT, HOLY NIGHT

This, too, may change.

This shot is a perfect example of shooting when sick. Don't do it folks...the image will always be less than your best. Perhaps I will retake this card image and replace, as soon as I am up to shooting again.

Christmas Card Beginnings

Today the process of Christmas Card creation began. I am late this year. Printed out the foundation image and did some test cards. Soon this image will be bedecked with gold ribbon, framed and adorned with glitter. Tomorrow the ornament will be pasted on card stock and the finishing touches added.
