Dad - Update

Dad has took a turn for the worse and is now on the high dependancy unit, The doctor has said that his kidneys aren't working , he is not getting enough oxygen and they think he has had a heart attack so this on top of the pneumonia that he has developed makes it highly unlikely that we will get him home now.

So we are playing a very heart breaking waiting game.

I want to thank all that have sent my family well wishes, also those that have phoned. Please don't think I'm ignoring you by not returning messages and calls but life is a little more than manic and calls and messages to family are coming first.

The Good Life - Thomas Kincade

Just a simple stamped card with a couple of leaves and a ribbon to embelish.

Teal Beauty

Started with a 15 x15cm card stamped in ocean tides ink by Papertrey Ink and a feather image by Clarity Stamps and created a background for the base of the card, I used a teal and pink paper by HOTP down one side and stamped the lady image onto cream card stock with the ocean tides ink, I used the same ink to colour the shawl added a pink ribbon and a floral craft blossom and a couple of pearls to finish

October Blog Hop - Polka Dot Parade

This was very tasking for me this month as normally I use dots without thinking as accents but to use them as a main focal point was a different ball game all together so my first make was a long Jotter book having a play on words, I also anned the polka dots to the pencil afer giving it a good sand paper rubbing so that the ink would stay once stamped.

I also made a matching card and figured one would compliment the other.

Silent Night

I love this dark damson card, it was bought from the Papermill Shop, I only wished I'd got more of it.

I used the Silent Night stamp set by Papertrey Ink to stamp the flourish and wording and then the Penny Black Prancer for the focal topper.

All stamped using versamark and heat embossed white detail powder. Some simple layering with gold edged the base card wih a gold marker and a gold ribbon and some stickles glitter glue to finish.
