Because at CD Sunday Plus we now accept cards and projects made using digital stamps and images I have become much more aware of what - in the digital world - is out there and available to purchase.
When I see a new to me site mentioned as a source used in an entry I go off to investigate. Such a site I found the other day - HettyClare. I have added the site - with a link - to my side bar.
I purchased a few images and one in particular was a Christmas one. I have made three cards using the purchased image. I used a background from MCS and my graphics programme, ACDSee, to add the borders and text. I really do not know what I would do without ACDSee. Here are the three.
Later I might add a little glitter or even some enamel type colouring to the fairy lights. I try to make all my Christmas cards different but I do choose one each year to be my go to one in case I have not made enough. I like this one so it may well be the one I choose.
I am so glad that my cards for the rest of the year are now complete - touching wood - as I am suffering a recurrence of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in my right hand. I had cortisone injection back in 2017 and was fine but it seems to be back. Now I will start the long process of trying to get treatment. Unlikely but we will see.

Hi, Carol! Gosh, I hope you get some relief for that hand! Just read about the COVID variant surge over there in UK. I know over here it's hard to get elective treatment since the pandemic began and I do not want to get it in the hospital (I know a handful who have). Prayers for you! Now, I love your cards. Well done! I have that image and want to use it but not on the front burners so maybe one day soon. I'm Pinning to have a great example when I do! xoxo
