Commision Card

Hi everyone

This afternoon I have another commision card to show you, you might think I have seen this card before, well the story is, it was put in the shop for sale and was sold about 5 minutes later, I was in the shop at the same time and another lady came over to me ask if I could do her two cards exactly the same as the one that had just been sold as she had just missed it, I said same paper etc g oh yes please, guess what no same paper left aggggg luckly my friend came to the rescue with the same paper phew and I still had a pic of the card so how lucky was I.

I love this Hangar image with summer flowers,coloured with Copic and glitter pens, the papers are Bo Bunny, flowers from Wild Orchid and finished with pearls,lace, butterfly and ribbon from  my stash, sentiment is digital, from Lynne over at Sentiments 4you.

Brian feeling a lot better today and feels like a roast dinner so I will have to keep this post short, on the card front only two Christmas cards left to do, as I had three in my stash and rest was done yesterday and last night.

 Some challenges.

Cropstop - Lace

Paper Playtime - Summer

Polka Doodles -English Country Garden, my flowers.

Challenges

 Good Afternoon All

Wow! it is so hot here you can hardly breath when you go outside, it’s the hottest that I have known in a long time, it must be at least 53c with humidity high and sticky with it.

Today I have another commission card to show you, this one is being sent to the UK for a friend’s friend, I have a new image from Bugaboo I was waiting to get coloured up and this was perfect for what see wanted , as we all like to shop don’t we hehehe.

I coloured her with Copic and the papers are from Lasting Impressions, the big pink flower was a gift from a friend and the brad is from Hobby House, also used is a M/S punch with flowers from W/O, ribbon, corner piece and pearls from my stash.

I have been in my craft room for the past two days, all day, as hubby had his treatment this week and has not been feeling too well and gets very tired so I like to keep the house quiet as possible so no Rod Stewart blaring out or cleaning for me, quiet like the no cleaning bit.

He’s resting again this afternoon so I get to go back in my craft room again, all things being good he should be feeling more like his old self by the weekend.


Now people who know me, know I do not go into detail about my hubby’s condition very much but I do chat about it quiet often and skirt round the edges but I have had a few people asking me about my hubby’s cancer and the treatment he is on.


I find it very difficult to explain because it is so complicated so I will tell you the cancer and the treatment and you can read about it yourself and I hope this will help you in some way.

The treatment he has is called Lanreotide which is for Carcinoid Syndrome Cancer with Metastasis to the Liver, there is lots of information on the net as it is very difficult and complicated for me to explain and this post would end up a mile long.

I will say when you go for your health checks make sure they take your colon and intestine into consideration as my hubby was diagnosed with something else for years and this was not the case, this was not their fault as this cancer is very hard to detect but it is better to get every check done that is possible.


On a happier note (we always try to stay happy and positive in this family) I have just got an order for 10 Christmas cards by Sunday as this person is leaving the island and wants to take the cards with her. Sunday I said its Thursday today so I’d better get my skates on.

Thanks for popping round today I do appreciate it and all your comments, have a great day all.

Birthday Cards today

Good Morning all

Very early start for me today but I have a few things to do before a friend calls round for a crafty session with tea and muffins this morning, my cards for today are two commissions and both Birthday Day ones.

Inside to match

The second card is also on its way to Cyprus for the same person and uses another Bugaboo image coloured with Copic, the papers are also Bo Bunny with the edges inked with a bit of Timmy distressing ink, flowers from Wild Orchid, pearls, gold corner, lace and butterfly from my stash.

Sunday's with Chrissy DT Call

Good Afternoon all, are we all in a crafting mood today? I know I am and got straight to work this morning creating this card, I would really love to be on Chrissy DT over at Sundays with Chrissy and created another card using one of her fab images called Nose to Nose, this has to be one of my favourites and have used it quite a lot in recent months.

I usually colour the image first then pick the paper but this morning I drop a load of paper on the floor and this blue and yellow was on the top and it grabbed my attention straight way, I like it when things just flow together and the inspiration just hits you.

I coloured her with copic and the papers are from Bo Bunny which I inked with mustard seed from Timmy, punch is M/S lace, sentiment is computer generated, flowers from Wild Orchid, and the lace, pin, ribbon and bling swirls are from my stash.
