our SEVENTH anniversary - WOW, indeed!!
Hosted kindly by dear Lunch Lady Jan (Thanks, dear LLJ!). Our wonderful Queen of Deskland, Julia, is having a wee break, before surgery. Each and every day, am praying for dear Julia for her surgery, + post surgery recovery. Please pray for her too :D for complete and full recovery.

| Okay so you can see some Christmas cards being up-cycled today.. or last night.. Its the 25th so do pop over at Scrappy Mo's Christmas card challenge - aka Rudolph day (you've until 31st of May). You can see that have two old cards - one finished, making up the other. Trimmed down 'cos the sentiment was not very apt, + base too big anyway. Now very happy with them, two more done, so nice! Not any atc's in sight but one will be made + posted within 24 hours, God willing. Actually supposed to have birthday card made too .. that's why there is aqua blue Cheesecloth at back right, it was tie-dyed - anyone remember that?? If you want details, will be shared on 15th June, once birthday arrives. |
 |
| Adding a little DI Antique linen to the white digi Bible verse "Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable gift" printed out ages ago. Mounted the tag with gold snippet with Kaisercraft labels die ... extended a tad. Added some red bling - here are the two cards below. |
 |
| This card is totally made up of snippets. Joy Vintage Flourishes Butterfly, MB Whimsical flourish Swirl, stamped embossed mounted verse (SB Labels 11, verse stamp by Print Blocks 1994) were made for another card and rejected. Finished it for a dear friend's birthday on Sunday. Added lace from stash. |
 |
| Now to Aussie shots... this is at a fav. spot, about 7 minutes walk from here. As you can see, it's a favourite walking spot of humans + seagulls... the silver gull below amused me as he was taking a paddle.. more than likely looking for sea worms, while the waves went in and out! as you can see by the subtle light, it is late afternoon. |
 |
| God's creation truly is breathtaking .. our evening skies and lights on water have been so special in this autumnal weather we're having. |

Hello Shaz. Lovely cards - glad internet behaving so you could join in today! Lovely cards. Super views as always - I had my sea fix a couple of weeks ago :-) we went to Cornwall for a week - gorgeous. Happy 7th WOYWW Anniversary Anne x #25
Hi Shaz - I am determined to visit every desk this week! love your cards and of course the Aussie views. Happy 7th WOYWW anniversary - here's to many more! x Jo
Hi Shaz,
I enjoyed looking at you upcycled Cristmas cards. I do that too. I cut and paste and add things or cut them off as appropriate. I have a box of mirricard to layer as well. It's fun.
I love the Christian sentiments you have, which are difficult to buy for me (expensive to have them mailed from across the globe) so I print things out on my computer, that works too.
Happy 7th anniversary,
Lisca
And I'm back again to say ... FAB Christmas cards and thanks so much for entering the Rudolph Day challenge this month

Hi Shaz, gorgeous cards such a cute kid friendly nativity card... tie dying now that's something I haven't done in ages 😄 your pics are great if I'd thought of it I could have taken picture of Sydney today... at least we didn't have an accidental scenic tour this time... have a good week... Megan
Great idea to upcycle the cards... they are always too pretty to waste. Hope you have a lovely woyww.

Hi Shaz, Christmas cards? You are super organised! Gorgeous local shots. I so wish I only lived seven minutes from the ocean. Thanks for your kind words about my canvas. Your last sentence was a bit mangled...but I think you maybe wanted the name of that die, right? I'll look it up for you.
Have a lovely week.
It's lovely to get your Christmas cards ready and using bits of ones that you received is even better. Thank you so much for posting all your very beautiful art in the #232-#233 - Anything Goes FF Word Art Wednesday Challenge.
Blessings, Carole
Great cards! (Love the font on that quote). Lovely photos too. Happy Anniversary! Cindy #48xx

Gorgeous beach photos...so pretty. And all your cards are amazing, love seeing your work space, looks like mine!
Beautiful projects. Happy WOYWW . Elaine. No 33
It's been a LONG time since I visited, but I haven't played much this year. In fact, I would have been by sooner, but not long after I was finally able to link up, my electricity went out due to a hail and thunderstorm that ran through here.
Your cards really spoke to me, because I always believe in recycling/upcycling. But yours look so unique and clever.
Love the beach shots. Looks wonderful as you head toward autumn.
Happy 7th Anniversary from # 5.
Hi Shaz. love all your creations, they are fab. I'll email you my addy, I believe I still have yours from a previous year, but will check. Have a great week, and Happy 7th Birthday, Hugs, Shaz #8 xxx
Wow talk about being organised ! well done on getting those cards done. I Love the photos of the beach :) Have a great week . soojay 53
Good morning! I will definitely be adding Julie to my prayer list. Please let us know how she does on. Beautiful cards as always, but I think the butterfly is my favorite. I can imagine how nice would be to have that beach just a few moments walk from my house. You are blessed my dear friend. Have a wonderful day. Blessings, Betsy
Hi Shaz, sounds like I'm not the only one who has had problems today. I plan to visit everyone even if it takes till midnight! But you might know the one day when I planned to sit and do this people keep coming, post men x 3, friends x 2, workman x 1 and my hubby in and out, dogs decided they needed to go out more than usual but I will get there Lol! Have a great woyww 7th Anniversary, Angela x30

Super snippets card. Happy WOYWW 7th anniversary BJ#20
Love your recycled cards, how great to get a jump start on them, I am still having trouble keeping up with birthday's right now... don't you just love when something that doesn't work for one card is just perfect for another!
Great pics, love the one with the big waves coming in!
Happy Anniversary! I'm normally a lurker; but really want to stop by an comment on everyone's desk this week. Good job with the Rudolph cards; Hettie says I should join in and get them done too...And thanks for the great shots of the shore. My bucket list has getting down there to visit some day.
Enjoy the weekend.

Lovely set of cards Shaz! Beautiful beach photos too - you are so lucky to live near the sea!
Gorgeous cards Shaz and wonderful pics of the beach too.

Hi Shaz
Did you want the name of that tree die cut? I think it is Small Alder (or Grand Alder, if it is the bigger one) by Memory Box.
Ros
Your cards look great! My fave is the wreath just because I love wreaths of any style! Yours is so pretty with the gilded look you have here.
The second Xmas card has a lovely retro feel!
As always, your photos of the scenery in your area are fantastic!!!
Thanks for taking part in the May Rudolph Days Challenge.
Hi Shaz, I'm sorry I haven’t managed to comment earlier, once again life got in the way! However, I have promised myself to get round all the desks this week to celebrate our 7 years of WOYWW friendship - so here I am. Your cards are all beautiful - I always think it feels so good to upcycle stuff. The Aussie shots are, as usual, simply lovely. Have a great weekend, Elizabeth x #66
Love your two Christmas cards and a great contrast, one very colourful and the other CAS.

Lovely cards, my favourite is the wreath but they are all fabulous. Beautiful beach scenes too, would love a paddle there !
We've just had a neatly week long visit from my mil, you won't believe how tidy my craft space is, it had serve as the dining room it actually is, lol. I see you're getting well prepared for Christmas, here's something to see for every taste!
I'm sorry I'm late visiting, my holidays are soon coming up and will be taking a few weeks blogging break from mid June and lots need to be prepared before this:)
Okay, so I'm only a week late in visiting! Looks like you've been having a lot of fun recycling those cards and snippets. Cara x
