At Last ! Some Activity ...

Despite all my good intentions, ill health has meant I was unable to fulfill my promise to be a better blogging buddy.
The last 3 weeks have been a trial to say the least following a really nasty flare up of HS .... BUT ... I'm back online now and hopefully the new medication will enable me to return to make regular visits to all my favourite Blogland places again.

I have a few things to show that I managed to make despite being 'no weel'

I've really missed my crafting and hope that if I keep taking the 'Tartan Tablets' I can be more productive.







Firstly, some cards for hubby's birthday way back in August.
Nothing very adventurous or exciting but there's love in every stick'n'paste'n'peel off LOL!
I know he really appreciated my efforts 'cos I got a gentle hug in return.

My nephew celebrated his 7th birthday in August too ... so another simple offering was all I could manage at the time.

The latest copy of Papercraft Essentials provided the free papers to make a couple of fairy birthday cards ... one of which was sent to a CB forum friend last week.
Hope it arrived ok.
The other is in my 'Grab'n'Go box ready for the next birthday.

Finally ... I made a Good Luck card using Basic Grey paper from my stash and a wee bit of faux stitching.
This will do nicely for this month's MSN group challenge. Do you like the genuine, authentic, squinty bit on the top left front panel?

I thought I might send it to my son who's due to leave for University next weekend.

The scallop on the front reads ...
"Always Believe. If you can dream it, you can achieve it" ... and the inside quote says ... "it may not BE EASY but it will ALWAYS be worth it"

Says it all really.

Good Luck / New Home Card

I was visiting Nicola's blog earlier, (CB'ers know her as Enjay), because she mentioned she had been 'doodling' and kindly invited members to have a play with what she had doodled. Not being one to resist a freebie LOL ... I saved her image and had a play with it this afternoon.

The result is a Good Luck In Your New Home card. The colouring was done with ordinary felt pens and the pretty Spring paper used for the background, came free with a craft magazine (in 2006 I think LOL!).
Hope she likes it! I used chalk to add a bit of colour where I didn't use felt pens but it isn't very clear in the photo.
If you'd like to have a play too then pop over to her blog, ECP and leave her a message saying you have taken a copy ... please do her the courtesy of adding her copyright and let her see what you make when you're finished by leaving a link.

Thanks for letting me play Nicola.
