Bride and Groom

Morning friends, it’s Friday and those that get the weekend off work will be counting their blessings today.

My card today is Bride and Groom Dancing by Mo’s Digital Pencil

I’m still having mega problems with my mouth, and the medication is knocking me for six, so much so that I daren’t drive so my lovely man is going to take me to hospital this morning as I have to get my bloods re checked, I think the meds along with a low blood count is maybe why I can’t seem to walk in a straight line and feel so sickly.

I still have a gaping hole in the bottom gum but the top is closing so hopefully the bottom will follow soon.

Promarker Limited Edition

Spring will soon be here and to celebrate this Letraset have produced a Promarker Limited Edition to the family. Six new fresh colours, how exciting. They are all in the pastel family and would be a fabulous edition to your collection.

I thought I should give them a whirl with a new addition card.

I used three of the new colours on my card, Fresh Meadow, Daffodil Bloom and Budding Rose. I love these colours and they lay down with a chalky look to them but without the mess.

Don’t wait to long to get yours as they could be gone.

Floral Fancies–Freebie

I was asked the other day for more colours of a freebie i made in 2009 so I thought it would be nice to share with you all, 5 sheets in beautiful shades. if you want them smaller for an embellishment rather than a feature, you could always print them at half size. I would recommend a soft gloss paper like a satin or decoupage paper for the best results.

Wisdom Update

I couldn't take the pain any longer so I took myself back to the dentist this afternoon, it appears I have a bad case of dry socket infection in where my bottom wisdom tooth would have been. So a big box of antibiotics and soluble Co Codamol, corsodyl mouth wash and I topped it up with corsodyl toothpaste too.  if you don’t here of me in the next two days it could be that I have lock jaw eeeek!

Ok tablets taken mouth swilled, now time for a little nap methinks.

Spring with Adele–Mo Manning

Well I keep taking the pain killers but they take longer to kick in and a sure know when I’m ready for more, a sore mouth leaves you pretty miserable I can tell you, I think part of the problem is my tongue it just can’t leave it alone and I look pretty silly going through the day holding it to stop it wandering.

I decided that a spring card might be just the ticket to cheer me up.

Adele from Mo’s Digital Pencil

I coloured her with FlexMarkers by Letraset and used the Nestabilities Oval dies to cut her out then teamed her with Nitwit Collection papers

I just love the size of her Easter Bonnet.

Just Look What's New This Week

We have three new digital stamps for you this week, two of them being religious, we thought they would be great for those that make cards to raise church funds, sympathy, weddings, christening and confirmation cards and these two are simply gorgeous.

What a let down.

I feel like I have let you all down this weekend, I felt so unwell over the last couple of days that I just haven't made any cards at all, I have coloured images when I felt up to it but no card made. Chris was on a course with the fire brigade on Sunday and I spent most of the day in bed, although I did manage to make a shepherds pie for him coming home.

I made this layout of our Grandson Jack a little while ago but didn’t get to show it to you so at least I have something visual to show you. I could show you the gaping holes where my wisdom teeth were but I figure you wouldn’t appreciated the photo.

Welcome Saturday

What a day Friday was, firstly it would have been my Brother Russell’s birthday, he was lost at sea while serving in the Merchant Navy at the age of 17, just a lad in his prime with the world at his feet.

Then my morning started with a trip to hospital for my bloods to be done followed late morning by a trip to the Dentist to have 2 wisdom teeth removed, now I am a bit of a wus when it comes to dentists due to a drill happy one in my youth, but they had to come out so out they are and pretty painful at that, it made me realise the pain that Natalie must have been in earlier in the month.

The tea time came a call from the hospital to say they were concerned about my blood count and to stop the meds that keep my pains at bay and I need to go in again next week.

So I’m pleased to see Saturday morning, I still have considerable pain but I suspect that each day will get better.

I thought I would share this scrapbook page with you, the picture is one from my wedding day and this is Chris’s favourite picture, it always make me giggle and think start as you mean to go on ha,ha…

It’s quite ironic because we rarely have cross words, we tend to listen to each other and talk about things before the heat sets in, something that has worked for us as last year we celebrated out 25th Anniversary.

I use My Memories Suite to digi scrap and now to make cards it is an amazingly easy program to work with.

If you would like to get started and be able to make wonderful gifts and keepsakes this is definitely in my opinion the program to be using.

Don’t forget by using my code you can get $10 off the My Memories Suite software and also an extra $10 coupon off any purchases made. That's a big $20 saving.

My code is STMMMS48868 Enter the code on the shopping cart page At My Memories Suite
