Good evening everyone I'm gonna start tonight by firstly saying sorry to everyone for not getting around to everyone's blogs. As well as the pups which in all honesty Fudge does most of the looking after lol but I've also been in extreme agony & I'm so sorry to moan about it yet again......I'm getting sick of my own voice actually!! The doc is rushing things to see me as they dont know what the pains are, they have looked at my CT scan & I dont have kidney stones it has showed up something near my bowel but they are not sure what. The doc is not sure if my kidney is diseased as he thinks urine could be going back into my kidney which is not good & cause a diseased kidney..........unfortunately I have to put up with the severe pain until they have found whats wrong. The weekend was really bad & by yesterday I could barely walk so I will try my best to catch up with you all.
Anyway I am filling in every Monday over on the Crafts & Me store til the digi DT are fully restored again so I've made meself make a card this evening. Its not turned out like I hoped but I didnt have time to do another one..........so I will show it you anyways..........
Today for my card I have used a digi image......I sooooo love digi's I really love the versatility of them.
I have used 'My Little Mermaid' by Sara Burrier made exclusively for Crafts & Me. I decided to do a step card this really are the easiest cards to make.
This is a fabulous image I've never coloured her before today, she is sooooo easy to colour. I coloured her hair with copic warm greys as they have a tinge of brown in them & her tail I coloured with cool greys & added glitter to her..........thought she deserved a bit of bling.....
The die-cuts I've tried to mimic seaweed. The blank space in the middle fold is to put a sentiment once I know what this card will be used for.
Everything except the green die-cuts is from my stash what I've found in my hobbit today lol.
I've used only 1 bit of DP which is what the image is on its actually a sea one from Raspberry Road.....I am so in love with that store & I cant keep away now lol. I have used dark blue & royal blue card from my stash & the waves I have used a die cut which I cant remember the name of sorry. The green die-cuts I wanted to sort of mimic seaweed.....they are actually Magnolia doo-hickeys......I got my surprise prize today from TOMIC........oh my word I have NEVER EVER seen anything like it.....EVER...I cant believe how lucky I am to recieve all of this.......including the die-cut I've used on this card today.
Here is a pic of what mr postie brought me this morning.........
Excuse the background I took the photo on my bed this morning lol.
I know some of you dont like magnolia which is fair enough we all have different tastes.......be pretty boring world if we didnt.......however I love them & they are certainly generous it felt like crimbo today & altho I have said a huge thank you it just doesnt seem enough for all of this.......so I'm am doing something to say thank you to them but cant tell you what yet......its a secret lol.
Well I' sorry for the very long post my lovelies. Thank you sooooo much for all your lovely comments they mean soooo soooooooo much they really do.
Toodles for now mmwah

Hiya Viky
I am so saddened to read about your continuing heatlth problems and I pray that they find what the problem is real soon and get you on the road to recovery - pain is a terrible thing to life with on a daily basis - you need to look after yourself hun.
Words can't express how much I think your work is fabulous - you are so talented - your colouring and eye for design is outstanding.
It is no surprise to hear you won such an array of gorgeous goodies - well deserved - enjoy - but as I said earlier - do look after yourself and listen to your body.
Love the 'Nanna's Baby' countdown lol!!!
