Health update

Hello my cums,

Had my colonoscopy this morning and thankfully all clear - not a pleasant experience but was worth it to know that I am free of any horrid conditions like cancer, diverticulitis, polyps etc.

Happy as Larry I am and thanks for all your good wishes and advice - much appreciated girls!

Will be back tomorrow with a card or two.

Hugs to you all - just would love one more follower so I get to 3 figures!!

2 cards using same DP - totally different looks!

Hello fellow Bloggers!  I have to apologise for my absence over the last few days - going in to have my colonoscopy done tomorrow and a bit uptight about it - heard so many gruesome stories - thankfully I am getting it done thru BUPA (TY Graham's work!) so will have the luxury of my own room, fluffy dressing gown etc but to cap it all Graham is away til tomorrow so Lynne will be taking me up for the procedure.  I have to be there for 7am so early night tho I won't sleep a wink as I have been taking strong laxatives all day - Vicky you will understand I am sure!!

Anyway, onto my two cards for today both using  a fab DP from Funky Hand CD called V Funky - I just adore Anice's DPs.

The first card is for the Cupcake Patchwork Challenge :~

 All I did for this was cut 9 squares of paper slightly smaller than my card and added stamped stitches to make it look like patchwork.

 I love this Sugar Nellie Raven stamp - a recent purchase for me - which reminds me I must take some pics of the goodies I bought at Emerald Crafts in Brecon (TY to those of you who pointed me in the right direction - fab fab fab shop and girls are so helpful - kept Graham amused while I spent a small fortune!).  Coloured her with my PMs as usual.

This sentiment is a gorgeous freebie from Rainbow Echo Designs.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My second card is for the following challenges:~

Sketchy Colours Beige, Brown and Purple;
One Stitch at a Time Use a Digi and
Sketch Saturday.

 Same DP but distressed ink used on edges.  The fab image is one of Jenni's new Imogen digis - aint she gorgeous?  The bunting is from a free Molly Bloom stamp.

Amazing how one DP can make two totally different looking cards but then I suppose its endless isn't it?  Maybe one day I will try to make as many as I can that look completely different.

Thanks for looking guys and happy crafting - will be absent tomorrow.

Imogen in Hat from Jenni

Well here is my second post today using another of Jenni's fabulous new digis - you can purchase them all here for  yourself or join in our current challenge.

 I have fallen in love with this one - ain't she simply adorable?  She is called 'Imogen in Hat'.

Once again, I coloured her with my PMs and am entering this card into the following challenges:~

Willow Sketchie Challenge;
Passion for Promarkers Anything Goes;
I Love Promarkers Anything Goes and
Moving Along with the Times Handmade Flowers.

Ingredients:~
Imogen In Hat from Jenni;
PMs~ Blush, Oatmeal, Dusky Pink, Pastel Blue, Duck Egg, China Blue, Cornflower, Ruby, Pear Green and FM Blue Grey 1 to outline;
DP is from stash as is ribbon and gems.


I do hope you like Jenni's new designs as much as I do.

For those who are concerned about my ongoing health problem, I am having a colonoscopy done on Tuesday at the Kings Oak Hospital in Enfield - have to eat nothing for 24hrs and take the strong laxative I was given all day Monday so no going out for me that day.  Will be in all day then will be making up for the lack of food as soon as I am set free!!

New Digi from Jenni - 'Imogen'

Aren't Jenni's new images adorable?  You could win all three of these 'Imogen's  by joining in and winning our current challenge over at Cardmadfairy's Digi Days.
