I'd like to draw your attention to the post below this one and the malicious content of some of the comments i received from Liz Blair. Not just on my last post but over several if you care to read back

I don't know why Liz has singled me out for her foul mouth abusive rants as I've had no contact with her for over two years and can only conclude she has some under-laying grudge against me.I've emailed her this morning asking her why but as yet I've had no response from her.

This left me no choice but to email her DT co-ordinators to make them aware of her vicious and uncalled for posts.One of them kindly got back to me to say Liz has told her that her blog must of been the target of a High-jacker.So tell me this,who knows of a high-jacker privy to personal information? who leaves more than one comment per post or who takes the time to go through a blog and leave comments on various posts?Do you know of such people because I've never come across it before.

Any time I've read a blog post about a high-jacking it's been someone leaving random spam on everyone's followers not one specific person .If indeed someone did high-jack Lizans blog would it not be the case that they would use her followers list to leave their spam messages.Since I'm not a follower of her blog and never have been how did they make the connection between us?

So Liz thank you very much for letting the blogging world know what i and many others already do.That your a fowl mouthed,evil minded malicious woman.You have of your own free will shown yourself to be a two faced individual who after a few drinks on a Saturday night lets her mouth run away with her.Then again I've been on the receiving end before so its not new to me but I'll bet your blogging buddies will now see another side to you .Heaven forbid they ever receive such treatment

I do apologise for any offence these comments have caused any one else and the language that has been used ..

I am leaving this now until any proof to the contrary can be shown to me.

O Little Town Of Bethlehem

I thought it was about time i looked up some challenges to enter all these cards i am doing .So what did i come across but a challenge to do a card based on a Christmas Carol or Christmas song title
So this is my entry into the Allsorts Challenge Blog
This card was made using two pieces of parchment.The scene is painted on the second piece and the lantern and grid work is done on the first piece .The trickiest part was getting it all lined up..lol
This pattern can be found in a book called Pergamano Parchment craft by martha Ospina

Saw this template and just had to have it.Its a digi download from Whimsie Doodles
I think these little Torreds are so cute too,and as they are die cut they are dead easy to do as well.Still havent got the hang of using the Diamond glass properly yet so i will just have to keep at it.The flowers are cut using Crickey

Need to get a move on

2009-11-06T09:57:00.003Z

As Christmas is creeping up fast and i don't seem to have made hardly any cards yet
I decided for the parchment ones i make this year,they will be all the same Quick and easy lol
They will just have a different image
The grid is designed by Annie and Piet Jannsen and the image is off a CD.I have embossed the image from the back to give it dimension,I have also dorso some colour behind Santa
I have entered this in a challenge i have just been told about at Susie's Sassy designs
