Well folks it’s that time of year again and I hope you all had a good 2011 I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, OK I know that not everyone celebrates Christmas and there are other religions in the world, but as I do not intend to conform to political correctness it is the only greeting I will use as it is what I grew up with and hopefully it will be accepted in the spirit it is given to wish everyone all the best for the coming year.

I have always loved the little cards that my children or grandchildren made as they are so personal and show an effort on their part. So as many of you join in on our photography and Photoshop threads, here is a card I made especially for you all, done entirely in Photoshop.

Have a healthy and prosperous 2012

Merry Christmas to you all and All the BEST in 2012!!

That's a lovely card Horus!

Here's my card for you all. I took the base photo of the church in the Spanish village where our house is. Two little Santas are our teddy bears who travel around the world with us. Added & painted the wintery effects in Photoshop.

Wish you all a Very Merry Christmas and a Very Happy Holidays!

That's fabulous Silvermagpie your obvious talent with photoshop will be welcomed by us all on here. A nice authentic picture of where you live which gives it a nice touch, so thanks for the card.
And not forgetting LLL's greeting also

Great cards both of you and the greeting is returned to all from myself and Mrs G.



Horus said

I know that not everyone celebrates Christmas

Well H, I had an appointment at the hospital to see the eye specialist. He is Indian and on leaving I said 'I don't suppose you celebrate Christmas but seasons greetings to you and your family'

His reply with a smile 'Everyone celbrates Christmas' so I guess it is not always what your religion is but more where you happen to be when traditional events are celebrated......

I really like that attitude.

Beautiful cards Horus & Silvermagpie.......thank you &

May you all have a Merry Christmas & a wonderfull New year

Brilliant cards, thankyou, a Merry Christmas to you all on the green side

Neato cards H and Silvermagpie - am really jealous of your photoshop talents. H started to give us all lessons and promptly my laptop broke and I had to get a new one. I keep trying to get back to them but - no cigar. Been rushed off my feet lately with family stuff and work is going full steam ahead but I 'swear' real soon I'm going to sit down and learn how to do what you guys do........ It is sooooooo lovely!!!!

Thanks everyone.

...but I 'swear' real soon I'm going to sit down and learn how to do what you guys do.......

LovelyLL, could it be your New Year's resolution?

Ohhhhhhh Silvermagpie I, for sure, hope it will be my New Years Resolution. Lots of stuff happening in LLL land these days and I seem to be run off my feet on several fronts. Am going to try cause I really want to show off my photos come next year AND I've been researching what Grandad has put me onto which is getting your prints put onto canvas. Want to be able to perfect a few of my own photos and hang 'em on the wall. Defnitely getting into Photo editing is going to do this for me......

Right now I found this by way of a better [shadow=yellow][face=Arial]MERRY CHRISTMAS [/face][/shadow]to ALL!!

Thanks LLL and just think, you too could be making something like those once you learn to use Photshop

Thanks for that LLL.....and the greetings are returned to you and to all E4U and L4U members for
[shadow=white]A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY AND HEALTHY NEW YEAR[/shadow]

LLL, I expect you will be with your little twins for Christmas? We will be with our latest, now nearly 3 and he is very excited about Christmas

Perhaps he will let Grandad play with some of his new toys

Perhaps he will let Grandad play with some of his new toys

Shouldn't that read "I wonder if Grandad will let him play with some of his toys"? and by 'his' toys, I mean your Grandsons.

LLL, those cards were gorgeous!

Well, tonight, we will be heading to Spain to spend Christmas there. We don't have a regular internet connection there so I wouldn't be able to visit Egypt4u forum for a while...

So... Merry Christmas and hope you all enjoy your holiday!

Have a great holiday Silvermagpie, here is something to send you on your way Hope you understand Arabic

What I wish for all on L4u/E4u/RS4u: A safe, joyous Christmas and to remember the reason for the season!

And the same to you WI, enjoy your special day

One more fancy Christmas display!

This is cool, it looks like the house is jumping.
As the story goes, the guy that owns this house lives north of Cincinnati ,
Ohio. Police were constantly being called for traffic jams and accidents in the
neighborhood so they asked him to shut it down during certain hours. Instead
he started charging by car load to pay off duty police to be there.. The
guy is supposedly a real computer GEEK Best Christmas Lights Display
