Handmade Christmas Cards
We have been making our Christmas cards this year. Well, I say this year like it’s never happened before, truth is we always hand-make the Christmas cards. This year we couldn’t make up our mind what design to use on the cards, so over the last week we have been flat-out making various cards, to eventually choose a reindeer design. I say we but really Elaine makes the majority of the cards, I throw in my two bits worth every now and then ! Anyway, I must admit I really like the naive stenciled approach and the way she has used the gold paint and glitter. When the light catches the cards they really glisten and stand out. Christmas is just around the corner – can’t wait !

Christmas Cards to print at home | Christmas Angels
To get us into that Christmas spirit, we have illustrated some Christmas cards for you to print at home. The cards are designed to fit into a C6 envelope (approx. 114mm x 162mm). Ideal for adults and kids school friends too !
All you need to do is print the design(s) onto a separate A4 sheet of card (210mm x 297mm), then cut out carefully with scissors or a craft knife, and fold in half to finish your card.
C6 envelopes are readily available in supermarkets and stationers and we’ve even seen them in your local post office.

Hints and tips for printing.
- Print the file as is, do not “fit to page”, scale or change the size when printing, as the cards will then not fit into a C6 envelope.
- Make sure the card you choose to print the file onto is suitable for your printer.
- Preferably choose a white card to print the file onto.
- The file(s) work best if you have the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer.
- Colours may vary depending on the type of card and printer/inks used to print the file.

Big Man Walking 2009
A gargantuan sight in Inverclyde this afternoon. An 8 meter tall, blue marionette called The Big Man was entertained and given gifts by local school children and groups as he walked the streets of Gourock. Despite the rain, there was a great turn out and this evening he will be walking at Battery Park before the annual fireworks display.
