Triple Point Card

 My mojo has been missing so decided to sort out my paper drawer -well must have been hiding in there all the time so last night I made another triple point card for Mrs A butterfly challenge,a book card and tissue box cover the last two still to be decorated.

The papers were from my drawer had them for yonks -and no idea of the make sorry,I found two die-cut circles(creative dies) -one in kraft and one from corrugated card,found a used tea bag so layered these three up.

Then I actually had to do something myself so stamped three sizes of butterfly from a Chocolate Baroque set,coloured them with promarkers and layered them up with 3-D foam pads between each one.

All finished,then noticed I had clipped the corner off one of the points -sooo-had to make the other one to match lol.

Hollie-Ann Update

 When Hollie was admitted she couldn't talk or even drink when she was admitted the Dr took one look and drained the abscess with no pain relief bless her.

But after that and thanks to a fluid/antibiotic drip and morphine pain relief  I can now say she is feeling much better and even managed something to eat -that didn't take long and here we were worried sick!!!

She still looks unwell but after what she has gone through who wouldn't but better than last couple of days -she has a room complete with shower and toilet to herself and app the team who was looking after her have been brilliant and they have checked on her every hour -they are really pleased with how she has responded to the treatment way to go Hollie!!! So a complete weight off our minds and be able to sleep(hopefully) tonight.

 

Thank you all for your lovely get well messages they were really much appreciated--Thank you

She is only 12yrs and has a lovely caring soul in primary school she gave up her playtimes to help in the nursery-and gave up her school holiday to help in the nursery school Rosie works in.

Love you lots Hollie and get fighting-fight like a girl💕 x x x x x

Journal Page

Best wishes to everyone for the New Year and thank you for your support over the past year. 

 

I decided to make a background by scoring a piece of card at every inch then dragging a brown and green ink pad down the card from the top then turning and reapeat-quite pleased with that so stamped a couple of teasels not perfect because of the score lines but went with it.

Then stamped a few mushrooms from a Rubber Dance stampe set onto a few oddments of coloured papers and the large brown one (which when posted the pic saw it was actually floating!!!)was stamped onto one of the leaves through the bigshot that did not work,stamped Bees from Chocolate Baroque and left it because it wasn't what I envisaged!
