Lots of cards

Well I hadn't blogged for a while until the other day but that blog didn't include any new cards, well this blog is going to include all the new cards that I've made this week. For future blogs I think I'm going to do it per card but today's one will be lots of cards.

This card can be found on my Facebook page here : number 338
This card is A5 size.Its is a fairly simple card, the army man is decoupage that i got from crafts u print, i have printed it out onto glossy paper and then cut with a scalpel all the different parts, some of them are so small and fiddly esp the union jack badge on his chest. I put him onto a red linen type of paper and then layered it onto a matt silver paper. The backing paper is one i got free from a magazine. I then added some gem hearts and 2 die cut hearts with the same red paper that the army man is backed onto. Then the greeting is added using silver peel offs.

This card is A5 size. I used a tatty ted decoupage that was ready die cut.  I used blue paper from papermania vibrant colossal 12x12 papers for the top and bottom of the card. The heart paper in the middle is from the forever friends love collection. The stripe in the middle is a heart print grosgrain ribbon then on top of a blue pearlescent card and then backed onto cream card. The sentiment is a tatty ted one and is on top of some forever friends love paper then backed onto blue pearlescent card. I have then put some card candi to finish the card off.

Long time no see

Hello everyone.
I am so sorry that i haven't been active in a long time, tbh i forgot that i had a blog but i promise that i am going to be more active on my blog from now on. A lot has happened since i last posted, after 5 long years of my health being so so bad i finally have the answers as to whats wrong. I have found out that i have M.E, fibromyalgia, server chronic back pain, server depression, server anxiety as well as asthma. What hit me even harder was just before xmas i was told by my gp that there is nothing more that the NHS can do for me, i left the dr's devastated but i'm trying so hard to not let it get me down and i'm not going to take no for an answer, I'm looking into alternative therapies. The only thing that's kept me sane this last couple of months is my children and card making.

I have been doing lots of colouring with my promarkers but haven't turned most of them into cards atm, they are in a nice little folder ready to make them into cards. I have 2 great card to show you tomorrow (need to take pics of them) they are both bespoke cards for 2 customers, 1 is a betty boop on a motorbike valentines day card and the other is man with an ipad but has a twist which i shall reveal tomorrow ;)

I am off now as in a lot of pain today and stuck in bed :( can only sit up for short periods of time atm so need to lay back down. Hope your all doing well.
