How are you all this week
We have been having the gas pipes replace in our area over the last few months and this week was our turn. My husband was around Tuesday but on Friday they were connecting our pipe to the pipe in the road so I had the day off and spent some time in my craft room and created today's card. They turned the gas off on the morning and we were reconnected in the afternoon. Just all the holes in the road to fill now.
We have a couple of weddings coming up over the next few months so I thought I would make a start on the cards. I found a stamp that I have never used so thought I would try it out, I am not sure who made it but it is grey unmounted rubber.
Here is one of the cards I made. I stamped it in a Hickory Smoke Oxide and heat embossed it in sparkly embossing powder. I was hard to photograph for you as it is on pearl card too but I assure you it really sparkles in real life.
I have also had a visit to the doctors, as I have had a painful elbow for months. I did go at the beginning of December and was told it was tendonitis and it should go away. Well it hasn't and its got worse. Even everyday tasks are so painful and the painkillers are not working. Well I am now waiting to have a steroid injection at the hospital. So it could be a few months until it happens. Until then I will keep putting the ice on it .
Well I am now going to try to catch up on some TV I have so many programmes to watch we are nearly out of storage and hubby is out playing darts so I can watch away.
I have entered this card in the following challenges:

Hi all
I know I have not posted anything for a while but life has been busy.
Our new grand-daughter has arrived. It was quite a turbulent few days leading up to her birth as mum was poorly, but she is here safe and sound and mum is well now. She is 3 weeks old today and absolutely gorgeous.
So I thought it only appropriate I should share this card with you and of course an adorable picture of her.
She is such a darling
The Make it craft show was back this year at Farnborough I went on Saturday and bought a few goodies. I was very good ( for me) a few more stamps were added to my collections of Honey Doo and Card-io. As I am now crocheting a few balls of wool came home with me too. A few more bits and bobs were added that I needed .. lol.. ok I just liked them. I spent a few hours Sunday having a play. The afternoon just whizzed by .. there never seems enough time.
I hope those of you who live in the UK are enjoying this lovely sunny weather we are experiencing at the moment. It was great to be able to get the washing out on the line at the weekend.
I must go as I need to catch up on the shows I recorded on Hochanda at the weekend.
Thank you for taking the time to stop by.
Happy New Year to you all
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with family and friends.
Well normality reigns again -the Christmas Tree is down and Molly one of our cats cannot sleep in it any more..lol.
But it was nice to also have time to do some crafting too.
Today's card I made for my step daughter Shona's baby shower.
She is expecting her first child at the end of this month a little girl. She has now finished work and trying to rest although she finds sleeping quite uncomfortable at the moment.
I knitted a lovely matinee coat for the little one. I gave it to Shona over the holiday period and she absolutely loved it. It's been a good few years since I knitted anything like I was happy it it turned out as well as it did. As I have some more wool left I may do a cardigan for when she is older.
Here is a pic of it.
Thanks for taking the time to stop by.
