Some of my cards

Photography course

I have been on a course in Photography with Stella Nova Studio.  Veryyy interesting so there's definitely more to photography than just point and shoot and I learnt NEVER set you camera to the AUTO setting cos apparently that is the idiot mode, HAHAHA.  your camera, most often can handle photos at Program and the Time value and Aperture value is pre-set but in real low light you will have to change your ISO to at least 800 - 1600 but also noting that there is a trade off since at this high ISO your photo will have large grain or photo noise. In natural and standard conditions where the day is bright and sunny an ISO of 100 - 200 will do.  To shoot action pics like sport - you will need a faster shutter speed to capture the caught in action effect, well depending on what you are after......  I am going to practice lots

Let's scrap card swap

I had joined a card swap at Lets scrap and I have sent cards to two people and I have received cards from two others.  I received one from Bev Mcdonald of PE and another from Deborah Bridgewater of Indianapolis - US

Secret Santa

I received the most gorgeous parcel today from my Secret Santa this year who was Mara Swanepoel. I was spoilt and pleasantly surprised with my stash.  The cutest flowers and some great stamps, choccies, paper, overlay, embellies and borders, tree ornament. A beautiful card too. Simply Stunning.

12 Days to Christmas

Today I wanted to know or rather ask the question - Is Christmas only for Christians???????  I am a Hindu and have celebrated Christmas for as long as I can remember.  I buy Christmas presents for those that I want to spoil, we have new clothes, we have a special Christmas Lunch or Dinner. I always put up a Christmas Tree and decorate it. I have different theme colours every year.  Last year was the deep pink/purple and silver, this year I have decided on Royal blue and silver. My theme this year is also the Xmas Stocking.  I am making a Christmas stocking invite as well. Will post soon. I love Christmas time, actually I dont know who does not.

Ok so we dont go to Church but for us it is a time for togetherness and family.

I have only done a few cards so far. Yes, I know not good.  I have been part of the Card exchange at Letscrap and I posted two cards.  One to Betty Anne Orr in Canada and the other to Karien Van der Westhuizen in Newcastle. Have to still make cards for work.

Have a good week ....
