Hello Everyone..

Hello everyone, I hope you are all well, tucked up safe and dry and enjoyed your Christmas.Sorry I have not posted for such a long time life just gets in the way sometimes!

I was really busy getting organised for Christmas, then I caught the flu virus, which seems to be taking forever to go completely. My Mum had a minor op which is taking her longer to recover from than expected and she has also broken a tendon in her finger making the bed!  My MIL has been in hospital for the last two weeks.  Christmas came and went.  I'm defintely looking forward to a New Year!

I have a card to show you that I made for my Daughter's Birthday which was on 7th December.

I used Stampiin Up coloured Card.

Basket Weave Embossing Folder

Sentiment was done on the computer

Image was from Christine's Dig Adventure which you can buy from here coloured with copics.

Thanks for looking.

See you again soon.

Happy Birthday....

Hi everyone, I hope you are all keeping lovely and warm. It has been quite bright here today, better than yesterday, but still cold.

The children at work are having their Christmas Dinner on Tuesday, the staff are joining them for lunch and will be wearing silly Christmas jumpers for charity. So I am looking forward to that.  Our tree in the entrance hall went up on Friday and the one in the hall will go up tomorrow.

It's a bit too early for me at home though, we don't usually put the decorations up until the middle of December, it is my eldest daughter's birthday next Friday and we like to get that out of the way first.

I have a male card to show you today, which was for a friend of the family.

The image is a digi from Di's Digis called "Piano Bear"
 I have coloured it with Copics and Prisma Pencils
Kraft card I bought at the Bluewater Craft Show
Coloured card is from Stampin UP
Borrowed the musical notes die from my mum (I think it is a Memory Box Die)
Frame is a Sizzix Framelit
Sentiment from Craftwork Cards

Hello

I'm back again!  I hope to be back for a bit longer this time!  I've not had a very good week.  You may remember a few weeks back I mentioned I had to have a procedure done at hospital  and I was terrified.  Well that was done on Tuesday. Good news is that everything looks normal, just waiting for biopsy results.  Bad news is it doesn't solve my tummy problems.  Anyway, I'm OK at the moment so I have a card to show you.  Sorry about the pictures the lighting wasn't very good.

Birthday Card for my Mum

Good evening everyone, first of all I would like to thank everyone who left me kind messages of support for the tests I am having done.

I was given 8th November, which is a bit earlier than they originally said, but as it is my Birthday and Silver Wedding Anniversary on 7th November, I have postponed them until 20th November.  I won't be able to eat anything after 1.00 p.m. from the day before, which meant I wouldn't be able to have a nice meal on my Birthday.

Sorry I haven't posted for a while, but I am trying to get back into it this week starting with a card I made for my Mum in September.

I have cut the owl on my cricut using Scal.  I bought the cutting file from The cutting Cafe.

Items Used:

Coloured card from stampin up
Cutting file from The Cutting Cafe
Backing papers printed from the computer
"Mum" cut on Cricut

Thanks for looking.

Week 21 Christine's Digi Showcase

Good evening everyone and welcome to my new followers.  

As if last weeks Ofsted wasn't stressful enough I am having a pretty awful week this week.  First of all I used the wrong image for my showcase card but didn't realise until it was too late and have only just had the time to finish it with the correct image.  

I had a hospital appointment on Tuesday and was told that I need to have some tests done.  I'm really dreading it as I am not very good with medical procedures and really not looking forward to having a tube shoved down my throat and other places. I have been having nightmares for the past two nights and the waiting list is approx 10 weeks.  I don't think I will be able to cope with the stress for that long!

Anyway onto my card for this week.  We have used this lovely Snowy image and I really did enjoy making my card with it.  I am sure you have already been over to Christine's blog  to see what the rest of the team have made with this lovely image, if not why not have a look now.

Items used:

Kraft card bought a Bluewater Craft Show.

Papers from stash (can't remember where from)

Memory Box Frosty Die

Sentiment from Computer and Punched out with Stampin Up punches
