Coming down out of the freezing sky with its depths of light, like an angel, or a Buddha with wings, it was beautiful, and accurate, striking the snow and whatever was there with a force that left the imprint of the tips of its wings — five feet apart — and the grabbing thrust of its feet, and the indentation of what had been running through the white valleys of the snow — and then it rose, gracefully, and flew back to the frozen marshes to lurk there, like a little lighthouse, in the blue shadows — so I thought: maybe death isn’t darkness, after all, but so much light wrapping itself around us — as soft as feathers — that we are instantly weary of looking, and looking, and shut our eyes, not without amazement, and let ourselves be carried, as through the translucence of mica, to the river that is without the least dapple or shadow, that is nothing but light — scalding, aortal light — in which we are washed and washed out of our bones.

Jiggery Makery..presents Kathy

Today's card is a design team make for the fabulous Jiggery Makery. I should have blogged this yesterday but as is getting to be normal here..BT said no. I keep phoning them and all they can say is that I'm at the end of the line and all will be better when we get superfast by the end of the year. All I can say is that I'm not holding my breath..lol
Let me now get on with the important stuff..the interesting stuff..let me introduce Kathy wearing her special Christmas jumper. I so loved working with this design by Adele over at Jiggery Makery. There are two other versions as well..and one of them is blank, so that you can design your own Christmas jumper. Even though a lot of my friends say that they would never wear a Christmas jumper..I have seen photographs to contradict their denials..lol. admittedly they may have been children..but they had the jumpers..lol.
For this card I mounted the backing paper onto some dark green card. I coloured Kathy using my promarkers and then cut her out. I decided to give her some black leggings and then decided to give her some polka dot Christmas socks..lol..only because I can admit to owning some pretty festive socks myself. And finally I added the sentiment and the greeting. I have some friends that look fabulous no matter what they're wearing...they could even make a binbag look classy..lol. I don't include myself in that group..no matter what I wear, I still look as if I've been dragged through a hedge backwards..lol
Well the coffee is calling and I've some new designs to play with. My first job will be to catch up on all my commenting..it's a design team job and I love seeing all the creations. I hope you will pop over to Jiggery Makery and take a look at the Christmas in July promotion. I have to admit that I simply love the penguins..Percy and Lilly. Anyway..until next time..take care and happy crafting
