Mum is OK

Thanks to everyone who prayed for my Mum.  She has had surgery and is in intensive care but doing OK.  Going to see her very soon.

Quick Post

This is a quick post of a Waltzingmouse card I actually completed for their latest challenge.  I have noted down sketches for the last couple of months but only made 2 or 3 cards in that time.  This one is simple using an ornament image that matches a Spellbinders die.  The background is done using a Marianne embossing / cutting folder.

Friends of Speedy TV - Masculine card

The first challenge for friends of Speedy TV is to make a masculine card.  As a new member of the team I thought it would be good to join the party so here is my card using the African Veldt set.

More snowmen

Here we are basking in sunshine and I am colouring snowmen.  The weather forecast implies snow later this month so perhaps then I will be colouring sandy beaches and sunny flowers.  This card uses Penny Black snowmen, some red paper from Craft Creations and navy blue.  I have used my new Spellbinders dies and a little glitter.  The card I stamped on wasn't the best for alcohol markers so I had to be careful how much ink I laid down..

Jolly Winter Wishes

This card, another for my Christmas collection, uses a cute High Hopes snowman and a Verve sentiment plus the Mojo208 sketch.

Making Christmas cards and doing Christmas shopping when we are having some of the hottest days this summer and certainly the hottest in October seems totally mad!

Chocolate Chip Bunny

This is going to be an interesting week and one of mixed emotions.  Today I am really excited starting my journey with Mark Finest Papers and the Friends of Speedy TV design team.  This is a really great opportunity for me to take my creating on a step further.
However, later this week I will be anxious as my Mum undergoes surgery on her spine.  This card is for her and if you believe in prayer please pray for her this week as it has been tough deciding to go ahead with this operation and I know she will be very worried about how she will cope.  She is one independent lady but she needs this operation to give her quality of life back but at the same time it is rather scary.

My card uses the beautiful bunny from the "In the forest" set and the get well soon from the "African Veldt" set - both Mark's Finest Papers.  The bright paper is from Bo Bunny and the polka dot paper is from Echo Park.  I have used Spellbinders dies and some flowers from my box.  I had to add that spotty button to finish it off!

The card is for 3 challenges
