It’s Coming

I know, I know it’s cringable but it’s on it’s way, Christmas, the big C word, it should be a time to rejoice and instead we run around like headless chickens trying to buy as many gifts as possible for our loved ones.

Well this year I’m ahead, I already have the two main gifts for both Daughters.

So onto my card, this is Henry with Wreath by Mo’s Digital Pencil it also comes as a girl version, you get the character from Mo and I added the lettering myself.

Henry with Wreath1

Such a sweet character to colour, I printed 1 extra Henry so that I could layer him up to make him pop.

Henry with Wreath2

Coloured with Copic markers and added a ribbon from Ribbon Carousel and a button from Dainty Paperie 

I’m back from seeing the consultant and the MRI scan has been ordered and more paid meds advised and he said it is likely that an operation is needed eeeek!

Help if you Can

When I heard that a crafty friend was to shave all of her hair off to help cancer victims because her own Mum was loosing hers through her cancer treatment my thought was just how brave she is.

Dawn Lancaster has a Just Giving Charity page where you can donate and make a difference no matter how large or small the donation.

Here are the pictures from Dawn on her head shaving day.

frametastic

It doesn’t stop here though, Dawn is also  running two challenges at the moment to try to raise funds the first is on her blog  Dawn's Crafting the second is on The Crafty Pad Challenge blog both challenges have the same theme Breast Cancer Awareness/Think pink.

Although they have the same theme, they are separate challenges with great sponsor prizes up for grabs.

If you think you could help her raise awareness or give a little something please visit her Just Giving page here

Digital Christmas Papers

 Digital Scrapbooking Papers all ready for the christmas rush in card making, what could be better than to download them directly to your computer and being able to use them over and over again.




All sheets are 12 x12" and resolution is 300DPI 




Countdown

Well as may have guessed I’m still having good days and bad with this wreck of a back of mine. Chris has been wonderful, I get a massage each morning with Voltarol which helps immensely.

I seem to be getting lots of pain down the fronts of my legs too like a constant ache, but rubbing seems to help.

Good news is I see my Rheumatologist tomorrow so hopefully I will get a light at the end of a very dark tunnel.

La Pashe has a new release coming which will blow you away, stunning is the word that comes to mind so I’ll get all of the girls to do some sneak peeks real soon.
