When I first read about the challenge, ideas came to mind and the search was on to find suitable screen caps and accessories.

CI5 Christmas Postcard (joint project with [livejournal.com profile] sunray45 )


At the moment The Ashes (cricket) is being played Down Under between England and Australia and The English Players will celebrate Christmas here during the series.

Explanation of Cricket Test Series known as “The Ashes”


As I’m an Aussie and Bodie played Cricket in “Blood Sports”, I had a little play …

Love those Christmas stamps, especially the way you have single pics of each one on one line, then the three of CI5's best in the other three.

We Three Kings is fantastic.

Thank you.

"Father and his Helpers" makes me laugh every time I look at it. And I'm grateful for the explanation of the test match. Cricket is a subject that still mystifies me. I love the cricket collage complete with Bodie changing clothes in the back seat of the car. Wonderful work. Thanks!

Pretty! Who would have thought that reindeer antlers would suit our lads so well?! And I love the three kings, too. Thank you!

Ha... I love those stamps, I want to use 'em. About time our lads had their heads put on them.

I love Santa's Helpers. Ray looks like he is really enjoying himself.

The cricket wallpaper is great. Hmm.. Bodie changing on his way to the airport, is he?

Thank you so much for sharing. :)

Being behind everyone else time-wise works well sometimes, cos I'm still up when you post - these just made me smile and smile! The stamps are gorgeous - now wouldn't that be an appropriate release for the 30 year anniversary? - and the postcard just really tickles me! And is that icon up for grabs, by any chance... *g*

Oh, the stamps, in particular, are gorgeous! And while I might be clueless about cricket, I really enjoyed the montage--photos and dialogue both. Lovely work. Thank you!

Like everyone else, I love the stamps. They're a perfect set. I wants me own - who cares if I never post them :-)

I also love the cricket one - although are you sure you want Bodie to play for England? That might even the play a little too much *g*

Good work, Geo!!!

Oh lord, I wish he was playing for us. Someone has to. *sob*

Lovely pieces. The stamps are beautiful. I wish there were some way of using them for real. Thank you so much for sharing!

Really liked the ideas you've had here and I wish we could buy the stamps in the post office!

Thanks for this.

These are fun! I especially like the cricket one, but I also love the determined way all three of them are manfully pretending they're not really wearing silly hats in "We three kings" *g*.

Thank you!

They're all marvelous, but the postcard is bloody brilliant! I'm off to steal it =now=. :-)

Thanks so much.

These are great, but then the lads lend themselves to such things.

Delicious! Love them all, but I do like the cricket one, and I love the stamp one. Where did you get that pic of Bodie in the upper right hand side??? It's yum!

[identity profile] myrebelcat.livejournal.com 2006-12-13 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I love them all! The cricket thing was very neat, and the stamps made me giggle since I recognized the children's book that background is from. Raymond Briggs' cranky Father Christmas would fit wonderfully into the CI5 universe. (Bloomin'!) ;-)

They're all great!

They're all brilliant, and I specially like the cricket one cos I specially like cricket. I just love watching Bodie not quite getting his century. And the polite clapping Ray is doing. (I'd like to say we're going to give you more of a contest in the 3rd test but I fear I might have to eat my words! .. and of course it's on overnight here ...zzzzz ....)

Sorry, I'm late as ever *sigh*
I love 'Father's little helpers' *snigger* and I would love to have the stamps, too.
Marvelous work you've done, thank you :)
