Back Update

Well I think it's a little better, either that or I'm getting accustomed to the pain.

I paid the doctors a visit today and they want me to have a steroid injection in my back as they believe it is a flare up of the psoriatic arthritis.

The other thing that came to light is that I have seemingly missed 15 years worth of HRT after having a full hysterectomy so I have to have a bone density scan and start some HRT so I have to go back again next week after they have dug out all of my notes.

So, I have to keep topped up on my Tramadol, Anti inflammatory and paracetamol oh yes and an anti acid (new one) because of the anti inflammatory tablet.

Good stuff eh!

Unhappy Santa - Sassy Cheryls

When the very talented Cheryl Alger (artist of Sassy Cheryls) asked me to do a little project for her I jumped at the chance, I simply love her work, if you havent yet found her get on over there as you are missing out click here to be taken to her store.
I used the Unhappy Santa with gift and coloured it with Copic Markers, I used a deep Purple card and created the scene with white ink and sponging over torn paper then punched out a circle from scrap paper and sponged through the hole to make the moon, I dabbed the Ink Essentials white pen randomly across the sponged scene for snow and added a star with the came pen.
I added lots of crushed glass glitter for the snow topped roof and added the image seperatly with foam pads to make it a 3d effect.

Free Sheets for your Card Making

As some of you will know I have had back problems for a few months now and on Friday it all came to a head and my back took a turn for the worst, so I'm resting it and that means a break from making cards for a while, I was watching Jack and as you do with babies I was carrying him quite a lot and now I am paying the price.
I am finding it impossible to lean over my craft desk or find a comfortable position to sit or even stand so I'm hoping that it will heal at a mega speed so I can get back to some normality.
I do have a card scheduled for Monday which was a promised card and after that we will have to see how things go.
In the mean time I have made a few free sheets for you all so I hope you like them.
