Happy Birthday Jenny

Today is Jenny's Birthday - my Brothers Girlfriend

and this is a little card I made for her.

I have created this card using one of the very

lovely Papermanis mini aperture Box card kits again.

It's tiny compared to my usual A5 card at

only 10cms x 10cms but I really like this format.

I made the flower with some wire, diecut leather flowers

and stamens.

It attaches to the card keeping the window closed

with some lovely ribbon (Thanks Keryn!)

I have used Basic Grey Kioshi papers

Stamped Image of girl at Window

from Sugar Nellie.



Polka Dodles - Spooktastic

We are looking for your

spooky creations this week at

Polka Doodles

I have used one of the Polka doodles templates

for my card base - Dees Double Diamond.

I have used imagery from the

Cd Sundae of seasons

that I have cut out and misted

with Glimmer mists.

Added googly eyes and spider on a spring.

Also some bats and spider on wire.

Still feeling lousy - all your well wishes much appreciated.

It seems they recon I may well be allergic to Codine

so I'm off that and on steroids and anti-histamine.....

which is not helping the pain in my back and legs!

However I think my feet look slightly less like

the knitted toys my brother kindly refered to them as earlier......

So how sppoky are you feeling

come on over to Polka Doodles and share your creations!

Over at Crafty Creations Sharon has asked us to

encorporate a number into our projects.

I do feel I have coped out a bit on the number element but

after the fall and rattling with painkillers I'm

afraid I'm not feeling too creative.

I have printed a photo of anemones onto

velum for my background.

Anemone Image by Sketching Stamper is coloured with pencils

attached with eyelets

sentiment in Sakura
