Cards

With Christmas looming, it's time to check up on old friends and ensure that I have all of their addresses ready to send out our Christmas Cards across the UK and beyond. The destinations include cards being sent as far away as England, Scotland, Canada, and Africa.

This years hand made version includes a photo of Mr Tister with special effects applied by the skilled camera hands of Jodi. Previous versions have included Mr Tister in Santa's garb, but this yeas the photograph applied to the front of the card, is an image of Mr Tister wrapped up for the Winter and out playing with Nanny and the others in the woods. The computer artwork on the inside and on the back was designed by yours truly. Strange really, as I took a while, whereas not that long ago I was a keen computer graphic artist. I swore by CorelDraw, but put together this card using WORD. Funny thing is, I'm clearing out the garage at the moment to install a large 00 layout. It's been cold work, and to warm up the numb fingers I have had a few fires going. The fire that I lit two days ago, was started and fed with the printed copies of my old computer artwork. Well, the paper was a tad damp, and I do live in hope that I will be able to find those floppy disks somewhere.

The Christmas Cards were glued together by the Boss and adorned with Christmas decorations and glitter. Ah wonderful, the Season of giving and remembering. And with all this snow in Wales and elsewhere in the UK; it even feels like Christmas.
