Simple Elegance

Hello everyone so sorry i have been absent for a bit but as many of you know my silly computer is being a big nightmare anyway i got a message from Abi today and gave me some wicked advice about changing my browser to chrome and what do you know I am back woohoo i have so missed everyone.The beautiful lady is a decoupage from a Debbie Moore Venetian cd rom as is the purple paper and the ribbon strip.I have added a punched border,ribbon and also a little glitter to her gorgeous dress.In fact this is the first time i have ever made an A4 card well its A3 folded in half but I think its sort of turned out ok.

thanks for looking

hugs

Lorraine

Hey I am back its been about 6 weeks thankyou so very much Abi xx

A Sweet Thankyou

Hi everyone I finally have something to share but first I wanted to thankyou all for your wonderful and loving comments about my partner being a bit poorly it was so nice to get so many well wishes from you all so thankyou so much. Now onto this little card I made I have used this adorable image from Sweetpea Stamps and this one is called'Love Is Gone' and she has been a little neglected so I thought I had better use her in fact she has been coloured for over a week but i was a little busy to make her into a card.I think she has got to be one of my faves.I have coloured her with promarkers and added a little glitter too,the embossed panels have been inked with Spun sugar distress ink and the folder is D'vine swirls from cuttlebug I them finished with a greeting which was heat embossed with white powder and I have added some diecut flowers using heartfelt creations posy dies topped with pearls. I hope you like it and you are all having a good day. For anyone who likes candy I have a little giveaway so please scroll done to enter or click on the sweetpea image on the right of my sidebar at the very top.

Rob's Fault I Have Been A Bad Blogger

Hi everyone I just wanted to apologise to you all for being missing the thing is my other half has had 2 operations on his delicates bless him and it also looks as if there is an infection too its been a nightmare its so difficult to get anything done while I am looking after him as he is in heaps of pain and has severe swelling too.I am hoping to have a little time to myself tomorrow but only if he decides to have a little sleep in the afternoon(he will if its down to me)lol.
He can't even walk right now so i get to do the dog walking duties too(wheres that sergeon I am so going to kill him) only joking the things we do for our families but i don't mind really.
Anyway I just wanted to explain the reasons behind my terrible blogging and crafting or should I say lack of crafting. I have some images I have coloured so hopefully I will get time to make something.
I hope you have had a great weekend and that you are all well.
Hugs
