A Card and a clean slate

Hi all,

Today is my girls last day of the summer holidays, its been a looooong 7 weeks and I wish I'd have gotten to spend it all off with them but sadly I've had to work most of it.

The new Uniforms and shoes, bags, stationery are all ready to go for the morning so we'll be enjoying a relaxing last day together probably watching DVD's.

I do have a card to share which I made last night but first I want to explain a little something...

I have a chronic health condition which has sadly become worse of the past 6 months and it is now affecting my eyes amongst many other things.  I have therefore taken the very very tough decision to step down from my DT's.  I felt I was more of a burden than an asset to them and couldn't give the commitment I wanted/they needed.

It has been like losing my family so i am feeling very emotional right now.  I cannot thank my fellow teamies for putting up with me for so long, i am so pleased to have spent the past 3-4 years working with you all and I will never forget the support you have given me.

 After a sleepless night I have decided I must wipe the slate clean and start again ... and to craft for the reason I intended to in the beginning..... to make myself happy.  I have cleared my blog so it is nice and fresh and I will now craft when and how I like ... to please me ... otherwise what is the point?

I may or may not blog everything I make, as to be honest this is the part I struggle to keep up with, the social media, the sharing, keeping up with the challenges and the commenting, it all takes far to much of my very precious time, time I need to spend with my family as and when I feel well.

So if you've stuck with me for this long i will share my card ...phew...

I have used another Papernest doll ..this is Witch Ellie ......she is so cute!



I have used my Distress Markers to colour her ... more practice needed I know.


I had to dig through my paper stash and only found 2 half pads of Halloween papers ... guess I need to go shopping!!


I added a sentiment from Stampin up and loads flowers from WOC.

Have a great day!

Hugs xx Cara xx

Inky Pinkies DT post - Distress Inks

Hi lovelies,

Today I'm sharing my DT make for the Facebook Inky Pinkies colouring group and today I've been using this adorable image from Work and Play collection 5 - Festive Hollybobs.


I've made a few cards this year wit this image but I adore her!


I coloured the image with my Distress Inks ... I really need more practice so don't look too closely.


I finished off with a sentiment from Lawn Fawn and so white gel pen and stickles.

I hope you like it.

Have a great weekend!

Hugs xx Cara xx
