| Card by Emily in Oz. Aren't they brilliant? Mind you, I am biased. 😊 I think Great-poppa would love them too. |

| Last week's acetate snippets backgrounds with Sugarpea Nativityscape a gift from Miss Di of the Snippets playground!! (As were stickeroos from 5+ years ago I think!). All but base is snippets! |
 |
| Some Agapanthus near the creek. Planted bed by local council, not wild as some think. |
 |
| Some Aussie summer sunshine for those deprived of it in Northern winter climes. There's a grassy path you can go for a wander and warm yourself up!! 😊 |
God bless your day dear kind friends, thank you so much popping by and saying hi.
Prayer hugs, Shaz in Oz.x
This week's thought again reflects the Christmas theme.
" The Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the World." This is the whole reason for Christmas, not only of the babe in the manger. God's Son Jesus was born to die and rise again that we might live eternally by simple faith in Him.

Such beautiful cards by Thomas and Emily...made with love. The most important part. Your cards are also gorgeous Shaz and the verses that you put on each of them point directly to the reason we celebrate this season of joy. I especially thank you for your photos of the warmer season. The ocean photos are so beautiful to me. And I’ll take any warm weather I can get right now! You are such a blessing to me my dear sister in Christ. Blessings, Betsy
ReplyDeleteaw, what special cards you received! Love your cards with robins, something so festive about them! Happy WOYWW Helen #1
ReplyDeleteThomas and Emily's cards are definitely the pick of the bunch Shaz. Love the robins too, glad you found them at the crop! Happy WOYWW. Sarah #3
ReplyDeleteFabulous cards Shaz but by far my favs have to be by Thomas and Emily magnificent, they would put a smile on anyone's face this Christmas.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a Happy WOYWW & a blessed day Hugs Tracey #7
Wouldn't Thomas's card make a wonderful rubber stamp!
ReplyDeleteLots of lovely things on your desk today Shaz - as always - and such a lovely few pictures of what you have been making.
Need to get back in my craftroom but cannot see it happening this side of New Year. Have to first get the house back to some normality.
Take care, don't do too much.
Hugs, Neet 6 xx
Fabulous cards Shaz especially the cards by thomas and emily..Loz
ReplyDeleteMorning Shaz. Gorgeous cards by Thomas and Emily - understanding there why we celebrate Christmas. Great robin cards too. Summer sunshine... how lovely. Agapanthus, growing wild - I have enough trouble trying to grow it in my garden, never mind wild!!
ReplyDeleteTake care. god bless.

How lovely that you made those robin cards using Crop stash! They look great and I bet they reminded you of that lovely day whilst you were making them. Good for Thomas and Emily too, they definitely have the artistic touch!!

Hi Shaz, love the cards from Thomas & Emily. Yours are stunning as always.Great to see cards made from Crop stash too. The Holly background is a stencil from Sweet Poppy- quite a large one, those sheets are half A4. I'll echo Margaret about the Agapanthus- amazing to see them growing wild. I think everyone will be happy that Google+ is finishing next year! Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz X#5
ReplyDeleteHAPPY WOYWDW

Your cards are beautiful and I am in ooh and awe over the cards that Thomas and Emily made.. so fun and free, it's a pitty we loose a lot of that freedom-fun-creating when we grow up... I am always struggling with the 'it has to be good' voice inside my head. A walk on he grass sounds great, the grass overhere showed ice crystals this morning... Thanks for stopping by my blog today, have a great week. Love, Marit #16
ReplyDeleteAll these cards are fantastic, Shaz! The kids' cards made me smile - so sweet! The smiley face Jesus in the cradle is brilliant! Thanks for stopping by earlier! Ooh, your 8th anniversary coming up - how nice that it coincides with the 500th WOYWW! All the best! Zsuzsa #14
ReplyDeleteGosh Shaz, you are so cleve at using up snippets, really, I don’t have the same success, your cards are gorgeous. Although, frankly, they aren’t quite as gorgeous as Thomas in Oz and Emily in Oz’s artwork, how fab they are ! Your sunshine photos bring me warmth on a really dull day, am feeling the cold particularly today and not sure why, it’s not even freezing yet!
ReplyDeleteWell done to cards by Thomas and Emily, great works!
ReplyDeleteAll your cards are very beautiful, love the clean design!
Beautiful cards Shaz - and of course I love the snippets one most! Do come back for the big Christmas draw dear girl.

A good collection of cards, Shaz, and the children's ones are very sweet. Thank you for your visit, and yes, Ruby's escapology is quite a worry so she's grounded for now, till we can sort it, which my hubby is convinced he can do. Thank you so much prayers for my hospital appointment tomorrow and I am sure my surgeon will agree with me to leave well alone! We shall see. Love and prayers for you too.
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW,

Great cards. I do love cards that children do. Thank you for the photos of Aus as well. I actually don't mind the winter days here, whatever they bring if it's cold and grey I enjoy being at home , warm and cosy and crafting if I can. The only weather I'm not keen on is when it is very hot. I'm odd I know :-) Take care Anne x #21
ReplyDeleteGreat cards! I love the ones the kids made. So fun! Have a great week. Dorlene #25
ReplyDeleteOoh sweet cards from the grandbabies Shaz, and ha the Agapanthus
ReplyDeleteI have planted that at least 3 times and never had it come back up the next year here ( guess winters are too cold) the Christmas bush looks gorgeous too. ~Stacy #22
So nice to see somehwere warm and flowereing! Thank you! Your cards are beautiful, and Emily's card is so sweet! Yes, very talented she is! Your robin cards are lovely as well! Thanks for your visit, Lindart #20
ReplyDeleteYour grandkids did a great job with their drawings :) Love your joy to the world cards, great backgrounds to go with the nativity scene. Your card toppers are so pretty, I like your design to use them!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty Christmas bush :)
