2018-Christmas-Cards-Birth-Of-Jesus

Howdy folks! 

Some more Christmas greeting cards I've designed, centered around the 'reason for the season', the birth of the Holy Child, Jesus Christ. With all the hustle and bustle of the Christmas Season, we sometimes tend to forget what Christ-mas is really ALL about, celebrating and honouring the birth of the Holy Child, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Hence, I highlight "Christ" in the word 'Christmas'. I may add more. You can always check back and see and even though some are added on or after Christmas, 2018, they will be here for next year and maybe by then, I'll have designed even more. Merry Christmas!

Growing up, one of my fondest Christmas memories is the making of Christmas cards and gift tags (which I may also do as well). Mom and us kids put all our creative ideas together, along with drawing, colouring, different colours of paper, glitter, and even some glue, and we made cards and tags to give to family, friends, teachers, mailman, etc.. To this day I enjoy making greeting cards for birthdays and various holidays/occasions, but especially for Christmas. Whenever possible we can share how we each are blessed with a gift or gifts, I believe we should and being creative is one of the ways God has gifted and blessed me.

My cards have different designs, some with a fine, gold trim, some not; some with outside borders, some not; some with candy cane frames/borders, some not. One design is a 'vertical' card (taller and less wide - 5.5 inches x 8.5 inches) and the other is a 'horizontal' card (shorter and more wide - 8.5 inches x 5.5 inches). For those who don't know how to print a card, I may at some point place helpful directions with images to help with card placement on the paper to be printed on, so your cards don't result in being backwards. Once you understand, it's very simple. They fit on one half of a regular size sheet of paper (11 inches x 8.5 inches - horizontal position; 8.5 inches x 11 inches - vertical position), preferably of 'card stock' grade so the card can be stood on its own to display, if wanted.

Under the images you'll see the corresponding image links for sharing, if one wishes. By right clicking on an image, you can then select 'save image' or 'save image as' to save it to your phone or computer. I refer to my cards as being either 'vertical' or 'horizontal' simply due to which measurement is greater. Since the vertical measurement is greater with the taller cards, I refer to them as 'vertical' and since the horizontal measurement is greater with the wider cards, I refer to these as 'horizontal'. 

All my cards I've created in a PSD format, which means I can use a variety of combinations in their designing, with different colour combinations. For example: If I want a mainly red themed card, I'll use a candy cane 'inner' border that's red and white with red text and with possibly red poinsettias -or- I may forego the candy cane 'inner' border and use a glittery red outside border/frame, instead. If you look through all the cards I'm displaying, you will see the variety of ways I've designed them, along with the different colour themes. 

I mention this because if you would like a particular card, but with a different colour theme, drop me an email and explain what colour theme change you would like and I'll be more than glad to customize a card for you. Make sure the subject says, "Christmas Card Customizing" (so if it goes to spam I'll know not to delete it) and in this case, it would be best to include the image link(s) I provide with my card images, so I can know which card (or cards) you are making reference to. I can also interchange "Merry Christmas" with say, "Season's Greetings" or "Happy Holidays", except I will not make this change on cards that depict the birth of Jesus, like The Nativity, Three Kings, and the Shepherds, Star of Bethlehem.

Angel-Cell-Wallpapers

Howdy folks! 

Cellphone wallpapers I make, folks can use them on their cellphones "as is", if they wish. They CANNOT under any circumstances, however, be altered in any way without my permission, since they are COPYRIGHTED to me, Artsieladie/Sharon Donnelly.

The first three I created with the angels I very recently created from just an outline from Pixabay.com. The last/bottom wallpaper I created in memory of my sister, Carol, who passed away January, 2017.

I have created a wide variety of the angels on these wallpapers as well as a variety of the hearts they're carrying. I also show them on desktop size images. I'd like to make them available for folks to use in personal, non-commercial projects, but I don't want my graphics uploaded and offered as part of others' collections on the 'Net that some THIEF SITES are doing. So, if any viewer of this blog would like to use one or more of my angels, you can contact me here. Please read my Terms and Conditions first and make the email subject titled, "Angel Graphics". Thank you.

50th-Anniversary-Poem

Hello all, from Artsieladie!
*Early Post*
"Anniversary Poem"

Through the years from where we came, 

We've traveled our many roads together...
Though some were long and dreary_

Made us tired, made us weary...

We've always withstood the weather.


Through the years from where we came,
 

We have added verses to our song.
Yet still we've stayed in tune
 

Since we first began in June.
Somehow, our journey hasn't seemed that long.


Through the years from where we came,
 

Maybe, we've gotten just a little out of sync
Yet, we ironed out the creases

And adopted some new thesis

But retained the cup from which we drink.


Through the years from where we came,
 

We've built strength on respect and caring
Matters that are small

We tend to each and all

With our love and through our sharing.


Through the years from where we came,
 

With God we've shared our trail. 
He has carried us thus far
For we have focused on the star

Of Jesus through our hill and vale.


Through the years from where we came,
 

We've tread along day by day.
Together forward we will thrust
 

And in His word we shall trust 
For His light will guide our way.

Through the years from where we came,
 

Ah, yes...and we're still as one
The ways we've mended

Our hearts we've blended

The tasks that we have done!


Through the years from where we came
 

We've had trying times for sure.
But we've had some fun

With the things we've done

And our faith has been our cure.


Through the fifty years we've come.
 

We reflect on years gone by
As husband and as wife

With our home and with our life

And...we're still reaching for the sky!

The-Greatest-Mom

Hello all, from Artsieladie!
*Early Post*
"The Greatest Mom!"
Art/poem by Artsieladie
"My Friend, My Mother!"
What words do I write? What words can I say?...
About my dear Mother, when there is really no way....
To adequately state, to totally uphold,
A real superwoman which never gets told.
The credit she deserves cannot be explained.
Exalt her I do for she's truly ordained.
Her spirit is relentless. Her courage so great.
With a heart so big I can only elate.
Her will is astounding though her mountains are steep.
Her compassion's abounding. Her integrity runs deep.
With endurance so endless and vitality...did I mention?
Perseverance, she has plenty, her best... her intention.
A greater compliment I could never receive...
Compared with my mother? Truly, I can't even perceive
For she is unique, surely one of a kind.
For one even remotely like her...never could find!
My dear Mother I honor. My dear Mother I praise.
The Lord always, He's with her for she lives by His ways.
Never shall I know again, one so dear and true.
My dearest, most beloved friend, I truly, deeply love YOU!!!

Royal-Puddin

Hello all, from Artsieladie!
*Early Post*
Artsieladie's beloved poodle, Royal Puddin'.
" Royal Puddin' "
Royal Puddin' was, yes, an awesome buddy.
He was loyal, true and such a really quick study.
Though he's gone to a place far and beyond,
He sparkles my memory like a magic wand.

New-Adventure

Hello all, from Artsieladie!
*Early Post*
Homeless puppies found a home.
"Happy Puppies!"
These puppies are happy now...With their great, new home.
They've got lots of new sights of which to explore and roam.
...Two once homeless puppies and now in a good home...
©2005 by Artsieladie, aka Sharon Artsieladie Donnelly

Update note: At the time of this post, I was very actively involved with animal/pet rescue. I fostered 
countless animals in my home until new, forever homes could be found for them. These puppies were 
two of the animals I fostered until a new home for them was found.

Sometimes-Take-Time

Hello all, from Artsieladie!
*Early Post*
"Sometimes...Take Time"

Sometimes...
Throughout our busy days...
In the chaos and the craze...
While we strive to live like kings,
We forget IMPORTANT things!

The beauty of a tree -
Ah, yes, a child's wonder -
Or of a rose in bloom -
Do we dare to ponder?

Seemingly insignificant matters, like thoughts 'n' prayers 'n' such...
Well, maybe, "We'll do it later...." ('cause it doesn't matter much!")
Not only of our time, is our sparing small,
But, with all our "gotta' haves", we don't recognize the call.
Of someone in need, a stranger or a friend,
Maybe just a helping hand, is all we need to lend.

You see? If it doesn't fit... within our schedule range,
Our accustomed style... we simply cannot change!
I'm not going that way... I don't think I can...
I've got to get my 'this'... That's not within my plan...
These are some 'excuses' that we're guilty of each day,
But, if we thought a moment... I bet we'd find a way!
To make a call or two or help someone in need,
If we did without a little, it would magnify, indeed!

If our material possessions were all just stripped away,
Would we be left standing... naked and in dismay?
Could we look inside our soul and be content in what we see
Or would we make some changes and throw away the key?

To the door of 'think of me'... be sure it's locked up tight,
'Cause a whole new door will open as you're showered with the light!
No longer will you have to worry about your little self,
'Cause the care you give to others will not remain upon the shelf!

You'll be surrounded in ways you can't imagine thus,
You'll feel much more significant and no more like a 'wuss'!
The rewards in life are plenty. They are there for all of us,
If we do a little caring and refocus how we fuss!

So, let us all each day find some time for others.
Share our thoughts and feelings with our sisters and our brothers.
I don't mean just family here... although they're number one,
But also, with the other souls that may not always be as fun!

Let me just say..... that I'm guilty of this, too...
That's why I'm sharing thoughts as I think of you.
And if tomorrow I'm not here, 'cause we never know what's next,
I want my family and friends to know and not to feel perplexed.

To say the way I feel... that I love each and every one...
Just doesn't seem adequate or that my task is done!
So, if there's any doubt in your minds as of today...
Remember this I've said and I mean just what I say!
I want to say one more thing, this, most of all...
May you each know God's Blessings. May they be showered on you ALL!!!
