Working my way through. Card 4 - needed a card for my granddaughter.

Sharla - that is a beautiful Christmas card - what Christmas is about foremost. Susan - get in line! Gerry - what are the requirements for the applicants?????

This has been so much fun. All the beautiful and fun designs - different interpretations of the templates presented. I'm still on card 3. This is it. I decided to do Christmas as I need one that is not religious (my main card is religious). The snowmen are from Creative Fabrica; the snowflakes are mine; the font is Kingthings Wrote (probably from CF or maybe one that was given in one of the labs). The texture on the background is actually sand, so the diamonds on the top had to be a silver grey. Had fun with the font as you can see I like to use the pen tool which is now becoming easier to use.

On day 2. All the elements come from PS - Marisa Lerin, except the doily which I had made in a lab. The border is Cass glitter. Loved learning about selecting a portion of an element and then coloring it on a raster layer you put behind the element. Neat.

Here is my take. It isn't Christmas, but I need various Anniversary cards. All is my own except the circle which I got from PS - Marisa Lerin and which I modified all but the wording in the circle; I used Filter Forge for the gold rings.

Well, I guess I haven't posted here as I thought I had. I'm from Memphis, Tennessee - center of the USA.
