This was quite a simple challenge this week. We had to make a card using two different kinds of patterned paper. I used paper from Stampin' Ups Spring Fling designer paper series. We also had to use glitter but don't think this shows up very well in my photo.
Hope I'm not too late this time with my entry!!
Had my porta-cath inserted on Monday. The op went okay and I was back home by mid-afternoon. It has been a bit painful but hopefully it will all settle down in a week or two.
Just a short update and thanks for all your good wishes. Have my next chemo on Friday so hopefully they will be able to use the porta-cath without too many problems (unlike when they tried to access my veins for the op!!)
Last Saturday I attended Stampin' Up's Xmas Extravaganza.
The demonstrator in the red top bending over at the nearest table is my friend and fellow SBS#25 sister, Karen who did a fantastic job as did all the demonstrators led by the fabulous Jacquie Pedersen.
Had a fantastic time and we made 5 lovely projects - see more pictures below.
This is the outside and inside views of the pop-up Christmas card - love that Season of Joy stamp set - it's so versatile.
On the left is a bag in a box.
This is a pocket card using an envelope to make the pockets inside.
Mmmm - inside is a yummy chocolate bar. Just undo the bow and pull on the ribbon to remove. These would be great hanging on the Christmas tree.
And to complete the Christmas theme a stamped decorated candle again using the versatile Season of Joy.
Hope I'm going to be in time for this challenge although I think we have been given an extra day. The challenge was to make a birthday card with two embellishments - mine are the ribbon and the flower.
I have kept this fairly plain and simple. Materials used:
Cardstock: Kraft, Ruby Red, Old Olive
Stamps: Stampin' Up "A Little Bit of Happiness" and "It's Your Birthday"
Other: Ribbon, Stampin' Up punches
I finally made "the big decision" and I am having a little operation next Monday so that they can insert a porta-cath in my chest which will make it so much easier for me having intravenous lines put in and also if necessary, for blood testing.
So all, keep your fingers crossed that it will all go as smoothly as they have assured me it will.
Somehow all my decisions involve choosing between two equally unpleasant things which isn't easy. However, decision made now so no good looking back.
Gee at this rate I will be the bionic woman!
