Toilet Humour - La Pashe

This is the newest of the Flippin' Men decoupage by La Pashe.

It is unique in the fact that you get both front and back designs so that when you flip to the inside of the card you see the rear view of what is on the front.

Both Jim (artist) and myself (designer) heartily belly laughed all the way through creating this one.

Even picking the title for it gave us lots of giggles, some of the suggested names were Flippin' Curry, Flippin' Hurry Up and Flippin' Think Tank and they were the clean ones that I can tell you about.

We finally settled with the name Flippin' Peace.

They will soon be in shops near you.

The Old Boot

Such an easy stamp for a mans card, the old boot stamp is a clear stamp by Dimension Forth, stamped in black versafine then coloured with water colour pencils & layered onto cream card a black base card, scored with the Scor-Pal a bit of torn paper and a ribbon to finish

Poinsettia - Peace on Earth

It seems an age since I posted a card as I've had this on the verge of being complete since my Dad had his accident.

I used the Penny Black Poinsettia and the Serendipity Peace on Earth Stamps onto matching cardstock and embossed with gold powder, I cut them out using Nestabilities and layered onto Gold Card stock befor adding them to the base card I finished with a contrasting ribbon.

simple but effective.

Just back from Visiting

We're are just back from visiting and the operation went well, although dad is still very poorly, which is only to be expected.

I feel much better knowing it is all done and we will have him back to his cantankerous self again soon.

I spoke to his nurse who is lovely and sh said it took a little longer than expected as he went to theatre at 9am but didn't come back till 12.55pm but since she has been pleased with him.

He was very sleepy still and we didn't disturb him as we thought at least while he's sleeping he is not feeling the pain.

I have managed a to get a card finished but light has beaten me so tomorrow I'll get that on here (fingers Crossed)

Dad - Update

I thought I'd better update on whats happening with my Dad, poor soul didn't get to theatre last night they are hoping he will be first down this morning.

The surgeon is going to replace half of his hip, the socket seems fine so he is going to add a new ball joint onto his existing bone, hoping that it will fuse nicely as he doesn't think pinning it would work.

I imagine he has had a terrible night but hopefully will be on the mend later today after his operation.

I has had very little sleep so I'm a bit groggy this morning and I know my Mam will be pretty much the same, Mam also has to go to hospital for more tests today and my brother is taking her.
