Hello to all my gorgeous fabulous friends out there. Before I say anything I want to thank you with all of my heart for the lovely messages that you have left for me regarding my health.......I'm sitting here with teary eyes after reading them all. Yes unfortunately my laptop has been gathering dust & I've only today been able to read my comments. WOW you really are a fantastic lot of ladies & I'm soooo lucky to have such wonderful friends....thank you thank you thank you thank you......I really am soooo grateful.
I'm not much better unfortunately but I am having a better day today so I thought I would pop into blogland to visit you all & I'm really missing you. My craft room has not seen me for a week & half I went in there this morn & the blinds were still closed....so they are open now along with the window to let in some fresh air lol.
I didnt want to let my DT's down again this week so I'm going to try get ahead especially with my DT work incase things go pear shaped with my health. So I started today & made a really quick & simple card this morning using a Art Deco stamp from Crafts & Me & following a challenge over at 'Less Is More' which is one layer & embossing.....dry or heat. So here is my LIM card......I do struggle with these you know lol.
This is 'Bride/Flapper' exclusive to Crafts & Me & I just think she is fabulous & one of those stamps suitable for so many occasions & used is so many ways. Here I have stamped her onto 300gsm A4 card & then heat embossed her with black embossing powder. Added some black organza ribbon, few gold pearl gems & cut out a fancy shape along the bottom using WOJ border die 'French Lilies'.
The sentiment I heat embossed with Gold to match the pearls & then cut it out using the smallest of the oblong dies.
I had to take a photo of this so quick before I had chance to start attaching loads of things lol. Hope the girlies over at LIM like it I'm not great at these cas cards especially the lim cards....they are just sooooo hard to do.....to me they are lol.
My hubby got me crafting goodies last week which was so fab of him altho they are still sitting in their packages & he has ordered me some of the new sassy's but wont tell me which ones so have to wait til mr postie pushes them through my door. My hubby is just so fantastic I love him to bits & I am sooooo lucky & thankful to have him. He really has looked after me this last week & I have managed to stop him putting me in the car to the hospital lol.......well I'm there next week anyway, thats my excuse lol. Altho I'm not sure how as I've been in jammies for 2 weeks now as wearing clothes hurts......do ya think they will mind if I turn up in vest top & satin spotted bottoms lol.
Anyway I'm away to come catch up with you all altho it may take me a while as I'm doing it in bits & having rests in between but I will be around to see you all cus I've missed ya too much now I need to see your fabby creations.
Thank you for popping by & thank you again for all the lovely comments you leave for me you really do put a smile on my face & even tho you also put tears in my eyes they are always tears of joy & happiness & I thank you for that I really do.
Tatty bye for now my lovelies & sorry for the long post. mmwah
Huge hugs to all xoxoxoxox
