Work & Play 10 Country Life - Polkadoodles Inky Pinky DT card

Good morning everyone, hope you are all happy & well.

I've been AWOL for a few days, Sorry! It was the 1st anniversary of my lovely Mums death last week and we all knew it would be hard. The kids were fab. We've shared lots of lovely memories, hugs and a few tears together. Wayne, my wonderful Hubby had booked for us to spend the weekend in Blackpool at our lovely friends hotel. It was just what we needed, we had a lovely time together, although it was a bit nippy the sea air and brisk walks really did us good.

Anyhoo! I have my Polkadoodles make to share with you all. Nikky has done it again, another wonderful Work & Play collection, this time it's all about country life, omg! it is all just so adorable.

Isn't this lil' fella so cute?

Polkadoodles Inky Pinky DT card

Good morning, hope you are all happy & well.

I would like to say a HUGE thank you for all your lovely well wishes, I'm feeling a lot better now. I was back at the hospital on Friday, this cyst on my spleen is giving me some right jip. It's quite a large cyst (8cm) and they think it's from a bleed in my spleen after a car accident about 11 years ago. I've been referred to a surgeon so we'll see what he decides.

Anyhoo! Here's my DT make for Polkadoodles Inky Pinkies.

I am soooo enjoying colouring these gorgeous characters in, it's all about the hair.

Good afternoon folks, how are you all? Hope you're all ok.

I've been off work for a couple of days as I've got pleurisy. I woke up on Saturday in agony, I thought I must have pulled my back out but after a couple of days I got where I was in pain breathing too. So after a visit to the Doctor, a course of antibiotics and a couple of days off work, I've started to feel a bit better.

I have my CCII to show you all. I have used a very cute digi image from the Angelica & Adam CD.

Good morning, hope you are all ok and having a good week, brrr! it's been a cold one hasn't it? They reckon it's going to be milder later in the week. Hope so.

I have my CCII DT make to share with you today. After seeing lots of MDF shapes around recently, I fancied having a go myself. As I didn't have an MDF shape to hand I decided to make something out of card. I must say I'm really pleased with the result.

I cut out the teapot shape on my Cameo 6 times using just some cheap white card, I then glued them all together and cut the teapot out again using coloured paper and stuck it on top.

..... and a close up version.

I used: Makey Bakey Mice Home Sweet Home stamp set

Tatty Twinkles - for my lovely friend

Good morning! hope you are all having a lovely weekend.

We had a fab day yesterday, a walk around Matlock and then a pub lunch. We then popped in to Lakeland on the way home and Wayne treated me to a pie maker and a pop corn maker. So lots of yummy pies & popcorn to look forward to.

I have a card to show you today that I made for a very lovely friend. Lee is such a lovely lady with a really great blog where she shares lots of gorgeous photos. When I was in hospital recently she made me some beautiful gifts, a tote bag and glasses case. She also bought me a lovely diary too. Isn't that just so thoughtful? I was so touched by her kindness.

So I made her a card to say thank you, I can share it on here now as I know she has received it.
