Thank you for taking time to visit, and I hope I am even a tiny bit helpful as I have been helped and blessed by so many others. I have been doing Calligraphy since teens, and card making for many years as well. In 1990 I delighted in the joys of stamping with ink and embossing after a trip to Cairns, Qld. In 2009 I discovered the brayer, 2010 the Cuttlebug, also have now taking to reading up on crafting blogs and lo! Here I am, on one of my own.

I live on the coast of eastern Australia. I am a Christian. I trusted in the LORD down here at the beach, amazingly it is not far from where I now live. It was over 50 years ago, after a Beach Mission Service at the age of 12 years

Cards In Hurry - Snippets + WOYWW

  Another Wednesday, so a desky share - or What is On Your workdesk Wednesday.. pop over to our Julia's desk for the link up, at Stamping Ground!
To my desk! yup, current desk in very bight sunshiny window area, hence glare on left, should've shut curtains! I love this spot for finishing up and colouring on cards, have number of Christmas cards on go here - three different types, the top set with start masks and dies was blogged on this post here.

 These two cards were made on the run before a trip away in Sept. Love how you can dive into snippets and come up with cards. The top one is a disc. leaf die bought on sale, a NBUS as Darnell would say, as is the orchid EF by Embossalicious underneath. The alcohol ink piece was one from snippets drawer, alcohol pieces look great under die cuts!

 This card is made with two snippets - a verse printed out a freebie from Word Art Wednesday, and the daisy piece is with Artneko daisy stamp set and using the bleach technique where you paint the stamped and **embossed flowers with bleach which neutralises colour then use colours to shade them (** embossing contains where bleach goes).
How I love this verse which tells of the promise of our great God's faithfulness to us! How rich we are in Him!
To the Aussie shots, first one taken in the Japanese garden in our botanic gardens! one below taken at our jetty marina on a superb spring day!
Well, I'm delighted to welcome new wonderful encouragers, first in many months! 
You will learn much from these clever crafters.. a pleasure to visit..
.... so do pop over to their blogs and give them some encouragement! 
They are very new bloggers and present at WOYWW for first time in last few weeks. 
Pop over and say Hi to Crafty Little Miss K and also Heather's Crafty Retreat!

Thanks so much every one for popping over for a peek and chat! 
May God bless your day wherever you may be. 
  Will do my very best in commenting, and truly appreciate your visits!

PS dont forget on 25th Nov - 30th is the last Rudolph day too over at Scrappy Mos Christmas challenge.... where did 2017 go?
 "It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness."  Lamentations 3:22, 23

Lovely photos as always, I do enjoy seeing Oz.
The cards are lovely too, especially the one with the gorgeous blues and greens behind the diecut - just my favourite colourway.

Hi Shaz, beautiful cards. I like the techniques you used. The colours on the alcohol ink backing to the die cut leaves is particularly lovely. I had quite forgotten the bleaching technique - one to revive. Love the Aussie pics
