OMG!! TWO CARDS IN ONE MONTH!

My friend's birthday is coming up at the end of the month, so I thought I'd try and make her something. Used the Cuttlebug again, with the usual sprinkling of flowers and pearls. TFL x

A BIT MORE DECORATION...

Morning, all. Firstly, thank you all so much for your lovely comments on my card. I wasn't sure about it, but you've made me feel much more confident about taking up crafting again after my break....

Secondly, we ordered some other decals at the same time as those in the Garden Suite (!):
This is on her wall above her bed. She didn't notice it until we asked her to tidy her room up a bit!
She loves it!

FIRST CARD FOR MONTHS...

Well, here it is. I have at last made something. It's a card for my friend to give to her sister, who has inoperable cancer. The brief was 'not too fussy or sad, but lots of flowers and stuff'. Oh, okay then!
I put my dusty old cuttlebug to use and added some flowers (WildOrchid Crafts) and a few pearls.
I like it and I hope it fits the bill. TFL xx

THE GARDEN SUITE

I haven't been completely out of it... I have been decorating, too. The downstairs 'facilities' were a bit dark and miserable, so I changed it.
I bought the decals in contrasting colours (ebay) and cut them up a bit.
It is now known as the 'Garden Suite'... get me!!

I'M NOT DEAD....

... just been away for a while. I can't believe how long it has been since my last post. But it wasn't through laziness. I've been a bit poorly. The best way to explain it is to say that the world started to spin a bit too quickly for me and I needed to get off for a while. So I came out of hospital, packed up my job and have been spending some quiet time with my hubby (who is struggling with a 'rotator cuff impingement' or something painful) and my girl.

But I'm back now. I've been asked to make a card so I'm about to brush away all the cobwebs from my craft room and let the daylight back in. Then I need to find the box marked 'mojo' and try and come up with something amazing!!

Watch this space! xx
