Storms Hit South Australia
I just wanted to post here that I am safe and sound at home on my day off today, but the whole state of South Australia experienced a total black out from just before 4 pm yesterday afternoon.
I was at work and we coped well with our black out plan with lanterns, a laptop and one computer that was connected to a printer. The doctors were able to undertake consultations and I was able to get results or history off the computer. We closed the Clinic early at 5 pm and cancelled the last few patients.
Whilst at home I had a sandwich and a glass of wine in bed in the warmth listening to a battery powered radio with updates until the power returned at Woodside just before 11 pm.
The wind and rain continued overnight and currently as I type this we have a little sunshine. The Onkaparinga River from Woodside, Oakbank, Balhannah and Verdun have flowed over bridges. Thanks to a friend Tracy on Facebook I have a photo of the River in full flood this just before 9 am at Woodside.

It’s easy to make a great impression! Just place flat cardstock in this embossing folder, run it through the Big Shot, and out comes cardstock with a bold textured design.
Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folders take embossing to the next level, with deeper, more detailed impressions than standard embossing folders—great for card fronts and accents. * 1 folder * 6" x 6" (15.2 x 15.2 cm) * Use with Big Shot | |

CASE-ing the Catty Santa's Sleigh Bundle - #CTC97
You may be starting here, so welcome to this week's blog hop or you may have come from Elizabeth Gross and her project this week.
I have been viewing lots of double z fold cards on pinterest and was inspired by the framed imaged to the left to make my card this week with the oh so cute reindeer and sleigh. I have used a teared piece of cardstock with a line of Dazzling Diamonds Stampin' Glitter on the edge to make the second z fold and took this theme further to the background with a few layers together with some Christmas trees among the snow capped mountains.
Cardstock: Thick Whisper White, Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Gold Foil
Ink: Pear Pizzazz, Crumb Cake
Accessories: Santa Sleigh Thinlits Die, Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine, Dazzling Diamonds Stampin' Glitter, Gold Baker's Twine, Rhinestone Basic Jewels
Top view of the centre of the card.
The Double Z Fold Card is closed and still fits in a standard size envelope.
Now it's time to hop over to Monique Fielder and her card this week.
If you are inspired again this week by the Blog Hop and the Holiday Catalogue why not participate in our monthly challenge by CASE-ing a card or 3d project, go to the linky tool at CTC and the winner will be announced on the first Sunday in October.
