Card Chain Swap

 Morning and time for the Card Chain Swap Reveal- 24 cards were exchanged. I went with the Black/White and one other colour option and my card went to Robyn in Australia. I used AALL&Create stamp set, background stencil from My Favourite Things and the corner stickers I found in my planner journal-only had it about 4 yrs and use it for listing challenges but they were tucked in a pocket lol.

Smash Your Stash Journal Page Challenge

 Sorry Vicki-I am late posting as a neighbour rang to take me shopping then came back for a drink and had an after-noon of putting the world to right lol.

Last Saturday of another month and time for Smash Your Stash journal page challenge with my blogging friend Vicki of Stamped Smiles so hope you will check out her inspirational blog.

The prompt this month is "Favourite Things" and I picked flowers and Bees. The stamps are from AALL&Create, Chocolate Baroque  and IndigoBlu, coloured with promarkers-the flowers are paper pieced with paper from Paper Boutique and stencilled background with stencils from Stencil Girl.

Missing again

 Morning just to let you know I will be missing again-luckily I had all  cards made and posted as I spent all day Friday in hospital showing all signs of a stroke-had all the scans, ECG/bloods and tests-thankfully it resolved itself so was diagnosed as a TIA(mini stroke) which I had five of a few years ago -put down to all the stress since July so just have to rest which is all I feel like doing at the moment-so back as soon as I can.

Spring Snowdrops

 Morning and I have three posts today-the first one is for the Hello Spring/ATG challenge at Stamping Sensations. The stamped image, coloured with promarkers is from Sweet Dixie and I stamped the flowers again-shaped and put on 3D foam pads. The floral paper behind was a scrap piece originally from The Works, the die-cut frame is from  Spellbinders and the green/gold b, paper was a scrap piece I found which was exactly the right size! All the snowdrops are in full flower in the garden at the moment.
