Merry Christmas.......2011

Sorry this post is belated but we've been away which meant I was on the lap top.
The internet connection wasn't anything like what we have at home and trying to
post anything is a major exercise!!!

So Christmas Greetings......although belated..........and I hope you got to spend it with
loved ones. Was Santa kind to you?


We had a wonderful day and saw all but one of the kids and grandkids.....so although
we are totally lagged out now, it was so totally worth the effort to go down and run
around to make sure we got to spend a little time with everyone!!

If you have time off, relax and enjoy it. If your travelling then 'stay safe'.

If you have to work.......be assured that its appreciated. Someone has to keep things
going and without those people who selflessly do the jobs that have to be done (whether
you begrudge it or not), life wouldn't go on. Emergency service personell, police, hospital
staff and the Dr's, even the retail people......you are appreciated for your efforts.

Sorry this greeting is late......but its not posted with any less love and meaning.

Last Christmas Design for the year (I think lol)

A lovely christmas scene is featured in this quick and easy card.

Just perfect for the 'last minute' cards.

You can use the topper 'as is' or cut out the decoupage piece and

add with foam pads. I have left the background for those who have

trouble cutting fine fiddly work but they could be cut out if the

cardmaker desired.

Who loves Chocolate???

New Designer Rescource just validated at CUP

Why all the watermarking?

Because Blogger has now made it so difficult to link an image to a URL.

The support forums are full of complaints.......Blogger............please FIX IT.

Now if you click on my image then instead of going to CUP it just opens the image up leaving it wide open to THEFT.

So its either the heavy watermarking or I'll leave it and then sue Blogger for lost earnings.

So sorry .......you'll just have to click the text links to go look at the unmarked image/designs.

Perfectly simple and simply stunning. Very easily made up

Click on one of the images to take a look and then take a look at the rest of the designs. They are definately worth having so when you need a card in a hurry, you can make one of these and the recipient will think you've spent ages making it.!!

Black and White Wedding

New design just gone 'live' .....perfect for those looking for a Black and White Wedding theme card.

**NEW** Xtenda Cards.......look!!!!!

These are my newest uploads. These are just 3 of the 15 designs already uploaded so take a look at these then browse the rest!!

The idea was born from wondering how to make a 'jack in the box' or a 'girl in a cake' actually 'jump' up yet still have a card that lies flat and fits standard size envelopes. (C5)

They can be hung up and kept as keepsakes, so the reciepent can 'see' your love and greeting each time they look at it.

They look complicated but are very easy to make. There is a tutorial included in the zip file also.

I do hope you'll like the idea and of course buy them!!

I have been made aware that there is similar cards/templates out there but any resemblance to these is purely coincedental.......I've been working on this idea for a couple of months but only just now manage to have them ready to upload.

And all these cards are TOTALLY unique in their designs. So go on.........take a look!!!

There will some pics of the finished cards on the Arty Dezines blog.

Its DISCOUNT time again!!!!

**NEW** Christmas Goodies with a difference!!

I had a suggestion by one of the fabulous cardmakers on CUP to do up some Christmas things in something other than the 'traditional' colours......ie pink and black.
So here we have some embellishments that can be used in designs, as embellishments on scrapbooking pages, or maybe print out and glue onto gift tags!!!

So if your looking for something other than green, red, gold, silver, blue.........then this is the pack for you!!

This pack is only available from CUP so if you obtain all or part of it from other sources then you have an illegal download!!

**NEW** Its beginning to look a lot like CHRISTMAS!!

Well its that time of year when 'organised' people get to start their Christmas things.

These tags come in both Traditional red and green and gold or the 'other traditional' colours of blue and silver.

These can be incorporated as part of an overall design, used as the design with text of other images placed in them, used as scrapbooking journalling tags or simply printed out and used as gift tags on presents. The 3 'skinny' ones could also be used as bookmarks if you want.

Again the only place these are available is from CUP, so if you obtain them from any other source then you have an illegal file.

*NEW* Anyone for a drink???

Some more designer rescources to use in your cardmaking creations, scrapbooking etc.

The beer bottles come with a lid on and a lid off and the glasses are a range of types, perfect for making that design for Dad, Grandad, Brother etc. Also champagne there to make your wedding designs.

Take a look at the AusPosers page for a fabulous card made by Lorraine Appelby!!

The use of these is only limited to your creation!!!

These are exclusive to CUP so if found on any other site or download, then it will be an illegal download.

**NEW DESIGNER RESCOURCES** Just about anyone can use these!!!

Check out all these new Sentiment or Journalling Tags!!!!!
If you click on this image you will see links to all the other tags also on the page.

Use these as designer rescources in creating card designs using them as the main image, or as a sentiment tag on the design.

You could also use them in your Scrapbooking as journalling tags.

You don't need to be a designer to use these either.....
You could just print them out, punch a hole in them, thread a ribbon through them and use as gift tags on presents for all sorts of occassions.

So really anyone could use these.

**NEW** Anniversary or Engagement

Two new designs of a couple walking along the beach.

One in a red/maroon shade and the other in blue.

Could be used for anniversary, engagement or even a casual

beach wedding card.

**NEW** Wedding with a difference

Looking for a wedding card with a difference?

Then take a look at my new design. Done in pale pink and

navy, nice and quick to make up. Decoupage the pieces,

add a ribbon across the top, then add your sentiment tag

on top!
