Humphrey & Chicks

Good Morning All

I was lucky to have my letter printed on Joanna Sheens News Letter this month and through that a lady who has lost her husband last week to the awful Pancreatic cancer got in touch with Tina and asked to be put in touch with me. (I lost my fiance to this dreadful disease in 2006).  This lady, Carol, lives in Spain also, so I  emailed her  and we have been having  a cyber chat this week.  Anyway, afew emails on and we are going to meet up on Friday afternoon.

Isn't it surprising who you meet through blogs etc, that is how I met my friend Val who comes to the craft meet on Thursdays.

Todays card is another Humphrey.

Such a sweet image with the little chicks.  I kept it simple, with shades of blue card and paper, matted onto  Swiss Dots embossed card.

I put the same image, but smaller, inside the card.

More Bits

Good Morning All

 I had my last injection y on Monday but it is looking like i will have to go and see a specialist next week, but we will see how it goes, I am doing some exercises that the Physio gave me, so, hopefully, these might help. 

I have been busy making lots of cards for the Craft Fayre coming up at our local English Bar on Good Friday.  I,ve really enjoyed this time as I can make lots of cards using all sorts of bits up, instead of having to use a sponsors digi image or anything specific.  I,m trying to use all my scraps and bits and bobs lying around my desk and boxes.

Whenever I use a die, I always cut some extras if there is card left, so I have lots of bits in my colour, co -ordinated boxes of card.  So this is all bits from the box in creams, beige and browns with a cute Little Humphrey on the easel.

I also want to show you what John Next Door made for me, if you are one of his followers you will already have seen this.  HERE

He made this sweet  heart shaped box  for me to keep my bead pins in.  I love it and I have already filled it with the pins too.
As some of Johns followers have asked for a video tutorial, I will get him onto it when he gets back from Benidorm, and I shall act as camera woman!!!!
