I opened a new topic for Christmas/Holiday wishes, so we have them all together. Here is my X-mas card to wish you Happy Holidays and say thank you to Carole and her team for another great year in the Campus! Thanks to all the members for the inspiration that I get from seeing all your projects and a big thanks to Sue T and Michelle for the idea and tips to make this card.

As I really don't have room to do much Christmas decorating here in my little condo I'm truly enjoying these patchwork Christmas trees from Carole's script. I rolled out more Anna Aspnes supplies using two background overlays this time.

Beautifully done! As always it was a pleasure. What started out as a dare from Michele, turned out to me creating a 3D text candle, with instructions on how to do it. I hasten to add, once I understood what Michele was asking me to create. I have since created several to be used as cards.

Week 50 Paper was made in the Paper workshop and Slipped In effect from Carole's book, It's easier for me to find that instruction as I know exactly where it is in the book (pgs 267-269).

That's so pretty Ann, these would make great Christmas cards and each could be unique. Is that a picture tube you used for the "garland". And I see some some campus goodies decorating the tree.

Almost, the white tailed hare turns white for the winter, to blend in with its habitat. You can see the last of its summer coat on the snow. Their tails are white all year round. Hence their name.

Here's the lighter more feminine version of the first image I posted. Usually my niece and nephew (for them, the spouse, the kids) get money from my hubby and me. And previously I'd make an elaborate vessel/box to put the money in. Lately I have been making a separate card than one I would give to them and there family unit. This one would have been for my niece.

I agree with Susan it is very hard to pick a favorite door, but if I must I choose the one of today, door 22 because it is such a good laugh! Having said that there were others with some new gifts that are great as well. I'm looking forward to the last 3 days! When my children were young we had Christmas calendars but nowadays I love the digital ones from the Campus and some from shops or companies over here. Carole thank you for another one, it is becoming a tradition now!

We still have that same foggy grey and sometimes very wet weather as the last 4 or 5 weeks. Only yesterday we had a short period of sunshine, but alas I had a couple of appointments and a lot of things to do, so very little time to enjoy it. Therefore again I have experimented some more and this is the result. I used this plant Nandine Obsessed in week 49 too but now I zoomed in on the foliage and changed the light setting to stage light with gave this result.

It's hard to pick just one door. I 7th door has such a yummy cookie alphabet and I loved the 12th door, such a neat looking frame. And who doesnt love a puzzle on 16th door. I had missed a few due to work and coming home to fall into bed. One of them was the 5th door with Banana Box Christmas. Thank you for opening up all the doors (so far) for us to enjoy. I look forward to it each day (that I dont forget 😁).

Very nice and it would make a great card as well, like Susan said. I have used the same supplies from Anna Aspnes and they look great on your layout too, they are so versatile.

He looks white all over!

Ditto what Michele said!

I find myself singing Banana Box Christmas every once in a while, for no apparent reason!

I gotta agree with Susan. I will never hear the "Twelve Days of Christmas" ever again without seeing those two guys, and the squawking partridge!

OMG! Today might be my favorite too. Hilarious!

Jannette, ik lees jouw bericht vandaag, zo triestig om te lezen 😔, ik wens je heel veel sterkte toe, en zoals Corrie schreef als je wat afleiding nodig hebt of troost zijn hier altijd mensen waarbij je even wat kwijt kan.

Janette, het spijt me heel erg om te horen over de gezondheidsproblemen van je man en wat jullie allebei gaan doormaken. Neem het zekere voor het onzekere en houd vol. We kijken ernaar uit om u te zien wanneer u kunt bezoeken, ook al is het niet zo vaak als de laatste tijd.

I've had problems in the past so I'm always cautious about installing them.

Here is my week 50 - the Hudson River Otter. It looks like I only need one more to finish out 2024. The photog is Ed Meekel from our HV in Pictures Gallery.

We had once something on subway art for Christmas, maybe it was a blogpost, or a tutorial I'm not sure I'll have to search for it. If time allows I'll let you know, because it is really, really simple to do. The hardest thing is to find the fonts you want to use.

Rene I always install the windows updates and almost never had any issue with it. The only time there was something not working properly MS issued another update to remedy it.

I've had the latest big MS update sitting on my task bar for about 3 weeks. I was unsure about installing it. When Matt came over to help get my floodlight camera back online after the fiber install I asked him if it was stable enough to install. He looked it up on his phone and said yes. I have another issue I need looked into but he had his son with him so couldn't stay long. He said to start a list and after the first of the year, he'll come back and see what we can do about the small issues. I decided to hold off on the windows update (24H2) install until then after I read somewhere that people had an issue with it and PSP.

I very much appreciate your kind words, as I do anyone elses. I will use this photo in next year's cards, as I have a policy of always using last year's photos in next year's calendars, and cards.
