Not What it Seems.


Nearly running out of time for Rudolph Day.
So busy busy here at the moment. 
I did manage to get to the 3 shop on Thursday
so I now have 12GB of sim loaded onto my  Ipad.
What fun and games that turned out to be,  as though
they have brought the price down considerably  there are
 new rules applied to the useage which meant I had to register
the sim, get a new password set up and verify my email
address. Course in order to do that they send you a text 
message which  (wait for it ) you can't receive on your Ipad!!
Catch 22.  
Finally found a  live chat icon at the bottom of my ipad screen
after going round and round in circles and in desperation
clicked on it. A Few seconds later and I'm chatting to a very
nice help desk  lady who got me sorted out. 
Phew.!I needed a drink after that I can tell  you.

So onto my card  which needed to be a quick one
but was anything but. 
Here it is closed up. It is actually a concertina card
kept shut with a matching belly band.


Start to remove the band and the first page of the card 
is revealed.

Image is Daice Fishing by Dee  Dee's digis
and comes either black/white or pre coloured.
I have gone with thee pre coloured images to save on time!!

Open the card up futher and you can see  he has caught
an Ice snowman.

Last page shows he has caught a Whale.


You get all these images + one other in the download
along with 3 digi papers. and also sentiments.
I chose the paper design 'Plaid' as it matched his hat
and thought the little scenes did make a kind of story up
if used in sequence.
I have a friend who loves all things tartan so this will be her card this yr.

quickly running over to

I love the concept of this card and the band looks great across the middle to keep the concertina closed. The plaid paper is so pretty too and the three images are really cute. A beautifully made card Mrs. A. I am here with my DT hat on so thank you for joining us for the July Rudolph Days Challenge. x

Brilliant card, i love the reveal and the plaid. (I could use a belly band). What a drama with your technology, i hope it's all sorted now. You can't beat speaking to an actual person, can you?

This definitely doesn't look like a quick card! It looks tricky to me and fabulous! Gorgeous images, I love it! Glad you got your Ipad sorted, technology can be such a pain! xxx

Hi Val
I am well thanks, I hope you are too.

Lucky you having all those butterflies. Doesn't it do your heart good to see them all in the garden, so uplifting!

We seem to have more white butterflies then ever before. I wonder why that is.
We have more birds than before or at least they are getting braver. This is due to my cat becoming more and more elderly. He doesn't bother them any more. He has big trouble even jumping up onto the sofa.
So the blackbirds just walk around him. It is sad in a way but good for my feathered friends. So glad you are free from the pestilence of Windows.
Hope you are having good weather; we expect rain tomorrow.
Hugs
