Hullo there everyone, well another quick
post to link over to WOYWW for those not in the know it is What is On
Your workdesk Wednesday.. pop over to our Julia's desk at the Stamping Ground!
Now to my desk:
Outside of this card shared before... |
Here is what is written on the insert .. free to use, if you wish. Other verses from 2013, 2012 maybe found here and here.
“For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Saviour,
Which
is Christ the Lord.” Luke 2:11
The
Reality of Christmas?
Is it those pretty
snowy scenes of the northern sphere?
Or the jolly,
rosy-cheeked, red-suited man others hold dear?
What do we see at
the very heart of Christmas time?
Look, SEE - it is
the “Christ”
of Christmas-mine.
C is the for the
Christ child who came, of whom angels sing,
H is the Hope of a Home in Heaven, He alone can bring,
R is the Risen Christ, Who died on the cross for me,
I is for I, who need to trust in Him alone - to be free!
S is for my Sins He
bore, instead of me, on Calvary’s tree
T is Time – that all will give account on judgment day
So let us look! See! Truly seek Him,
while we may.
S.L.G. ~ 23.11.14
EDIT: try as would could not get acrostic to go straight down as it should but you can fix it up not on original.
Here is the photo from Oz today.. not taken today as we are enjoying some very welcome rain, best for a long time but not drought breaking yet. I really pray for farmers the need it so very much, hardest dry spell for long time.
Thanks for popping over everyone for peek and chat.. sorry, will have to comment as time permits :D but really appreciate your words.
May God bless your day wherever you may be.
Shaz in Oz.x
PS have heaps of cards to share but dont have time to blog them at the moment..
Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto Him be glory... Ephesians 3: 20, 21a

Hi Shaz,
ReplyDeleteYour Christmas cards are beautiful. I love how you did the images on the front. Also, I'm quite impressed with your poem.
I find it difficult to write sometimes when I have to think deep and powerful thoughts. You did a great job of it.
Glad you are getting much needed rain. We have been in a drought for years also and I hear we aren't getting as much snow as first predicted. We will wait and see.
Happy WOYWW,
Hugs, Kay (no # yet)
I think those circles of silhouettes look great! I haven't finished mine yet either... nor even found the list to check how many I need! Have a lovely week. Helen 6
ReplyDeleteShaz I adore your cards and the poem is quite simply beautiful. You write as amazingly as you make your cards. I cannot write a verse like that ever. I'm terrible. But I am going to print yours off and use it next year. My cards are all addressed, sealed, stamped and ready to be mailed on Friday so it's too late for me this year.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Betsy
I must make my own WOYWW sign, since I never got one from the wonderful Julia. Love yours and those christmas cards are to die for

ReplyDeleteYou are so buisy

I'll join with the prayer for rain for you.
ReplyDeleteLove those seals turned into cards - they look fabulous. What a great idea.
Gosh Shaz, you have been busy, put me to shame - must get on.
Hugs, Neet xx 30
That's a busy desk right there, lol! I really like those cards with the circles on the front..what a great idea, really effective :-). And I'm not jealous of that beautiful blue sky and sea photo...I can feel the warmth from here!
ReplyDeleteHugs, LLJ 25 xx
The cards are lovely. Your verse is brilliant! Like you I'm soooo busy. Glad you had some rain and hope you get more - not something we often ask for in UK :-) but we would certainly miss it if it didn't arrive! Happy WOYWW Anne x @32
ReplyDeleteI'm having a quick catch up while the munchkins play with the Lego.
ReplyDeleteI love your cards and that poem is lovely...well done you.
Hugs,

Hi Shaz . . . lovely of you to join in with Rudolph Day again after last month's little problem!
ReplyDeleteYour cards are great. Terrific layout.
Glad you are getting some much needed rain. We've had rather too much of it recently . . . happy to share!
Hugs, Sarn xxx
Never mind about time to blog share - be sure to take some time for yourself...you do not need to be over doing it this season and in the heat! Your cards are of course gorgeous, and I love the insert..not surprised that you had to work on it, it's wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHi Shaz...sure have got a production line working there. Lovely Christmas verse....I have all the card middles to do this week mmm...busy day tomorrow. Have a great week Cheers RobynO#34
ReplyDeleteLove the embossed background and the circles! We've got those PG monkeys too! Happy WOYWW! zsuzsa @ InkyDinkyDoodle #41
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards, beautiful verse! I didn't realise you wrote these verses yourself! Clever gal! You are a blessing! TFS!xx
ReplyDeleteLooks like a sweatshop production like to me lol .... It probably feels like it too. The silhouettes look great
ReplyDeleteJanet
Lovely cards there Shaz. I do like the purple ones! You should get alot done at this rate.

I think these cards are beautiful. Such wonderful scenes and the verse you created is perfect.
ReplyDeleteOh those cards are lovely. I have a stamp set like that (silhouettes) and you've given me an idea of how to use them.
ReplyDeleteClever you to think of that rhyme.
We're having drought here too. It hasn't rained for months and when it does it's a short drizzle or a 5 min shower. The farmers are praying for rain. It's winter here (Spain) and it should rain (but it hasn't so far).
Those 'baroque' decorations are beautiful. I do love your zentagled baubles. Stunning. I might look out for those dies and do some next year.
Have a great week,
Lisca#24

Love these cards Shaz and the great images and colours are fabulous.

Your cards are beautiful, I love the circles and your poem in the cards is fabulous. Guess I should think about designing a card, I'm always a last minute person. Please do send some rain up here, all the storms seem to miss us and our tank is empty.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week making cards.
Von #17
Fabulous cards, and lovely poem. I have made quite a few but still have a lot to do! xxx
ReplyDeleteI like the fronts for these cards. At a quick glance I thought you had used bottle tops.
ReplyDeleteWe have more than enough rain here in the UK. The overflow flood pond at the side our house was have full this morning. wish I could bottle it all up and send off to you. hugs Mrs A.
Hi Shaz, Happy WOYWW. I know what you mean about not being able to stick to a pattern, it is the reason I have no cards for sale in the shop - the committee approved just one of my cards and said they thought I should make 6 variations of it - I haven't even managed to replace the approved card with the same yet!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea with the silhouettes though, and they look good.
Cazzy #42
Thank you so much for sharing the inside of your card - I love it. And it's too bad you're not in the states - we have two postage stamps that would go along with your card perfectly. :-) Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier.

Happy WOYWW and Happy Thanksgiving! Thank you for dropping by! Oh wow, I am so impressed at your Christmas cards. The best ones remind us what Christmas is really all about and your card does just that. How amazing that you make your own poems! I am super impressed, Shaz!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
peggy aplSEEDS@13
Shaz, loved those circle labels, make a very simple but very 'to the point' cards. And I love your poem, someone share one with similar theme on a card making page on FB, so important to tell the Gospel and let people make of it what they want.
ReplyDeleteBless you.
Chris #27
Two fabulous snippets cards Shaz! I think your little circles saved the day!
ReplyDeleteHugs

Love the Christmas cards, looks like a great way to make some fairly quick cards, great idea.

Your cards look wonderful (as always) and I love your veerse!
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought you were making bottle cap embelliew when I saw the sheet of paper with all the circels. Then I blew up the photos and saw the lovely metallic scalloped mats...so pretty.
Your beach photo is awesome.
Yep...I am going to take over Rudolph Day starting in January. We move house 2 days before so I have made my cards ahead and have autoscheduled it. Will walk over to my daughters in the evenings and post comments for that first month. Can't always count on the internet to be working right away!
Loving your Christmas cards- and I am not brave enough to show off the mess on my desk! I dropped you a letter- and forget to put the letter on it, so you will just get an envelope and some goodies : ) Not a dog collar though....hehehe
ReplyDeleteYour gorgeous card and goodies arrived this morning. Thank you so much. I love the card. hugs Mrs A.
