Missing again

 Morning just to let you know I will be missing again-luckily I had all  cards made and posted as I spent all day Friday in hospital showing all signs of a stroke-had all the scans, ECG/bloods and tests-thankfully it resolved itself so was diagnosed as a TIA(mini stroke) which I had five of a few years ago -put down to all the stress since July so just have to rest which is all I feel like doing at the moment-so back as soon as I can.

 Morning and the third and last post today is for the Card Chain Swap for February, and my card was sent to Greta in USA and hopefully she received it as I was ill for three weeks then our post office closed unexpectedly due to been sold! I made an aperture card using oddments of paper from ScrapAndMe. The aperture and frame were cut with circle dies from My Favourite Things.

Spring Snowdrops

 Morning and I have three posts today-the first one is for the Hello Spring/ATG challenge at Stamping Sensations. The stamped image, coloured with promarkers is from Sweet Dixie and I stamped the flowers again-shaped and put on 3D foam pads. The floral paper behind was a scrap piece originally from The Works, the die-cut frame is from  Spellbinders and the green/gold b, paper was a scrap piece I found which was exactly the right size! All the snowdrops are in full flower in the garden at the moment.
